Zenobia
Also known as: MS Zenobia · Zenobia Wreck · Zenobia Shipwreck
The Zenobia was a 172 m roll-on roll-off ferry that capsized and sank off Larnaca in 1980 after problems controlling her ballast tanks. She went down with more than a hundred lorries, most of them still inside the upper and lower cargo decks, and cargo such as hen eggs still lies scattered on the seabed. The starboard side at around 16 to 18 m is within reach of newly qualified divers, while the bridge, cafeteria and lifeboat deck can be seen without going below 30 m. The car decks, the accommodation and the two large propellers are penetration and deep dives for trained wreck and technical divers. The wreck draws schools of barracuda, amberjack and kingfish, big groupers, moray eels, stingrays and visiting turtles.
