The Cedar Pride is a decommissioned Lebanese cargo vessel deliberately sunk in 1985, resting on its port side at depths between 10 and 27 metres. Located 150 metres from the shore, the wreck serves as an artificial reef with colonised hull structures and interior swim-throughs. Divers can access the site from the shore or by boat. Conditions include mild currents and visibility ranging from 10 to 40 metres. Water temperatures fluctuate between 22C and 28C, with potential thermoclines below 20 metres. Due to the depth and overhead environment, this site is suitable for intermediate divers. A torch is recommended for exploring the dark interior sections, and caution is advised regarding sharp metal edges.
