The Lady Thetis wreck is one of two wrecks that make up the Dasoudi Marine Protected Area (MPA), alongside the Costandis wreck, with both sunk in 2014 to create an artificial reef and enrich marine diversity, further assisted by a series of concrete structures sunk at the MPA in 2016. She now lies just 200 metres from the Costandis wreck, making the site perfect for scooter diving, as well as for any level of diver and especially as an introduction to wreck diving. Offering easy swim throughs and penetration options for the more adventurous diver, the wreck sank in a such a way that she is now ‘dug’ into the seabed, offering a deeper depth inside, close to the keel. Other points of interest include the deck with the remains of small tables that anemones now favour. Colourful sea plants now colonise the staircase.
Marine life at the reef is rich , with species like bream, damselfish, lionfish, moray eels, nudibranch, parrotfish, sea slugs and tube worms, as well as amberjacks that pass through seasonally.
