Dive-site story
The Alexandria is an old fishing trawler that sank in Larnaca Bay while in transit from Limassol. Resting upright on a flat seabed, the intact hull provides an atmospheric dive often overshadowed by the nearby Zenobia. The bridge, open deck sections, and engine spaces can be inspected during circumnavigation.
