Quite impressive wreck and great visibility. Must do penetration through the corridor - easy - and get close to the big trucks. Not much sealife. Recommend not to dive with the Napa company that owns the wreck but rather pick a smaller diving centre.. they will take you out on the same big boat anyway but take much better care... More

As a local, I've dived this wreck many times. Everytime I dive it again, it's like a new experience. It's an easy dive for all levels of certification, but beginners should watch their depth gauges as the deepest point can reach approximately 42 meters. The boat can be reached from 17 meters of depth though. Not to be missed by... More

A real wreck with plenty of dives for all but beginers. Plenty to see both on the outside and during penetration dives. More

My wife and I dived the Zenobia in September, spending a week diving the wreck. It's certainly an interesting wreck. It lies reasonably deep between about 16m and 41m. There are many possible dives on the wreck, from swimming round the top, to some serious penetrations with no natural light. We were fortunate to do a lot of dives inside... More

Great swim around the hull, and a chance for a quick trip through the wheelhouse. Not an abundance of wildlife, but an impressive sized ship. More

I booked the dive via Sunfish Divers in Ayia Napa. The staff there did a fabulous job. They were very organized and coordinated the trip very well with good dive equipment and a really good dive instructor/dive master. Ask for George! The dive itself was incredible, very close to Larnaca harbor (maybe a 15-20min boat trip) pier. The visibility was... More
