I was in Cyprus recently and had the pleasure of diving the Zenobia Wreck. It's a huge car/truck ferry that went down with trucks still chained to the deck.
The ‘roll-on roll off‘ ferry sank in 1980 just one and a half miles off the coast in the Larnaca Bay. With a length of 178 metres and most cargo still in place this dive is a must for every experienced diver staying in Cyprus.
The wreck lies on its port side with many of the 104 trucks still visible and the marine life on the wreck is in abundance, with large groupers, wrasses, breams and a large resident turtle.
This dive is only suitable for experienced divers.
