Dive-site story
The MS Zenobia, a Swedish roll-on/roll-off ferry, sank on its maiden voyage in June 1980 and rests completely on its port side over a flat seabed. Divers encounter its massive hull alongside over one hundred articulated lorries still chained to the cargo decks. The sheer scale allows for varied dive profiles, ranging from wide-angle cruising across the starboard side and bridge to advanced overhead penetrations through vehicle corridors, the cafeteria, and engine spaces.
Articulated cargo trucks preserved with their cargo across multiple vehicle decks
Massive starboard propeller and twin rudders looming above the bottom
Spacious captain's bridge and exterior superstructure accessible on recreational profiles
Extensive penetration routes for properly certified decompression and cave/wreck divers
