MV Liberty was a Russian cargo ship which was turned into an artificial reef south of Cyprus in 2009.
[1] On 22 May 2009, Liberty was intentionally sunk by the Paralimni Municipality of Cyprus off the southern coast of the island.
The vessel was previously intended to be scrapped, but was instead turned into an artificial reef in order to promote diving tourism to the island.
[3] The dive site is located approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from land, and the shipwreck sits between 22 and 27 metres (72 and 89 ft) below the water.
The ship has two entrances through openings on the deck and an exit through the cargo loading hatch.
