ZENOBIA WRECK
The Zenobia Wreck is so popular that it is rated in top 10 dive site in the world!
Diving inside the wreck Zenobia is a must for all certified divers visiting Cyprus. The Zenobia ferry sank during its maiden voyage in the Mediterranean on June 7, 1980. It lies at a depth of between 16m and 42m opposite the old fishing port of Larnaca. When you start going underwater, you’ll be amazed by its size. The unit is 172 meters long and is unloaded with 108 trucks. To be able to see the entire wreck, we do two deep dives during one trip. Nitrox included.
The Zenobia Wreck, which has now become a protected artificial reef in Cyprus, has become a home for many species of fish. We will meet there huge granules and sea bass, several species of tuna, shoals of barracudas, wrasse and of course our Cypriot green turtles! Marine life in and around the wreck is unique, and Zenobia dive site is currently rated as the fourth dive site in the world!
This half day diving excursion includes delicious BBQ lunch on the dive boat after the second dive.
