Achilleas is an advanced wreck dive located off the coast of Paphos in western Cyprus, resting at a maximum depth of 12 meters. This small cargo vessel sits upright on a sandy bottom and has become a thriving artificial reef over the years. The hull is encrusted with colorful sponges, tube worms, and sea squirts, while moray eels inhabit the darker recesses. Schools of bream and damselfish swirl around the superstructure, and nudibranchs can be found on the wreck's surfaces. Despite the moderate depth, currents and limited visibility at times make this site more suitable for experienced divers.
