The best scuba diving experience in Cyrus
is exploring the wreck of the Zenobia. Acknowledged as one of
the top five wreck dives in the world, the Zenobia is not to
be missed. |
The Zenobia was a Swedish roll-on, roll-off
(Ro-Ro) ferry carrying cargo and fully laden lorries when she
sank. More than 100 of those lorries were shackled in place
when she went down. The Zenobia displaced more than 10,000 tonnes,
and looks very much like the vessels that sail the route between
Dover and Calais today. |
The wreck is more than 178m in length,
and now rests on its port side. With a maximum depth of 42m
to the sandy sea-bed, the top rail of the wreck is at 16m. |
A member of the Safari Support Team from
Crest Dive Centre will collect you from your hotel in the morning
and drive you to Larnaca Harbour. There, you will board the
spacious Zenobia Queen, a roomy dive boat with interior cabin,
toilet facilities, and a large dive deck, where there is plenty
of room for kiting up. |
On board the Zenobia Queen, your PADI certified
Dive Leader from Crest Dive will give you comprehensive pre-dive
briefings before expertly guiding you through two dives on the
spectacular wreck of the Zenobia. |
After your dives, you will enjoy a hot
lunch on board the Zenobia Queen during the leisurely cruise
back to Larnaca Harbour. |
