Table Top

Posted on | by ioulia | Leave a Comment on Table Top

This dive site is part of the Kavo Gkreko network of dive sites. Table Top is characterized by natural stone formations surrounded by Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows. In the small caverns, an array of colours can be seen from the sponges, as well as anemones, coralligenous algae and nudibranchs. The dive site ranges from 20 to 25 m depth. The rocks are brimming with marine life, such as fire worms, octopi, moray eels, and groupers. At the edge of the rocks, you find yourself in Posidonia oceanica meadows with lots of fish and gastropods that prefer to hide there.

Interesting facts: It is advised to perform this dive via boat rather than from the shore to avoid disorientation and missing the location.

Промысловое судно Немезида III Дайвинг сайта

The Nemesis III wreck was sunk in the Protaras Marine Protected Area (MPA) in 2013 to create an artificial reef, joining the Liberty wreck that was sunk in 2009. The former fishing vessel was built in France in 1956. She now lies upright in the MPA, just 90 metres away from the Liberty. As such, the site is particularly good for scooter diving between the two wrecks, passing the submerged two-metre cross placed there by famous Russian explorer Feodor Konyukhov, which was added to with a statue of the Mother of God by a Russian diving centre. Divers can enter the wreck and swim through its hull and bridge; explore the small cabin with its railed veranda, as well as the engines and corridor where all manner of marine life thrives. The safe swim throughs make the Nemesis suitable for basic wreck diving. The site is also ideal for training for the Advanced Open Water qualification. The amazing array of marine life at the site includes ascidian, grouper, lionfish, moray eels, sea slugs, squid, tube worms and tuna. Large numbers of amberjacks pass through seasonally.
