The Cedar Pride is a Lebanese freighter sunk in 1986 at the wishes of Prince Abdulha, King Hussain's son as an attraction for divers. She lies 150m offshore and is approx. 80m long by 20m wide. Lying on her port side across two reefs in a depth of 12-27m. It is possible to pass under the hull of the ship, which lays across two reefs. She has been rapidly colonized by soft corals and is home to several large sea bass, Grouper can often be spotted and she is also patrolled by a shoal of barracuda! Between the wreck and the shore and just off the starboard bow lies a reef called Osama's Reef This has nothing to do with Bin Laden! The reef slopes downward from 10m to 24m with a drop off on one side. Here can be found a profuse and wide range of corals and fish life, including larger pelagic species that approach the reef to feed. This site can be combined with the wreck, but there is rarely time to explore more than a fraction of the reef and so this site is worthy of a visit of its own.
