Dive-site story
The MS Zenobia rests on its port side on the seabed just off the Larnaca coastline. Sunk on its maiden voyage in 1980, the massive Swedish roll-on/roll-off ferry still holds over a hundred articulated lorries chained to the decks, with cargo spilling across the sandy bottom. Divers can explore the expansive starboard side, inspect the massive twin propellers, or undertake deep penetrations into the cafeteria, bridge, accommodation decks, and car decks with specialized training.
Massive commercial trucks intact and suspended by chains on the cargo decks
Immense twin propellers and bow thrusters encrusted with marine life
Expansive superstructure with multi-level penetration routes for trained wreck divers
Resident megafauna schooling around the upper hull and davits
