Anchor Cockpit is located on the North coast of Cyprus, just east of Girne Castle. The site consists of two reefs, one reef contains an old anchor and a chain, whereas the other has a cockpit from a plane. The cockpit is completely intact and empty of any instrumentation or other artifacts. After exploring the cockpit, at about 50m/164ft, divers will find the anchor. The site presents great photo opportunities.
