HMS Cricket
Larnaca · Cyprus
A British river gunboat built in 1915 and later scuttled off Larnaca Bay, now resting inverted between about 29 and 32 meters. A sandy depression beneath the hull lets divers circle the wreck, while open hatches and tight interior passages reward careful wreck technique. A quieter deep alternative to the nearby Zenobia.
