Iconic Zenobia wreck dive off Larnaca.
Iconic Zenobia wreck dive off Larnaca.
Zenobia is Cyprus's signature wreck dive, a giant ferry off Larnaca that rewards multiple passes rather than a quick look. The bow, bridge, cafeteria, truck-filled cargo bays and stern propellers create a clear route through the hull, while the deeper sections suit wreck-trained divers. Plan for boat-only access from Larnaca, advanced qualifications and occasional current on the deeper stretches.

Scuba Diving
A standard route runs along the railing from the bow past the bridge and cafeteria into the cargo bays, then finishes at the stern and propellers. Penetration should be limited to wreck-trained divers with local guidance.
Snorkeling
Non-divers can still enjoy the boat trip and surface view, but the wreck itself is a scuba-first site rather than a snorkel target.
