In 1980, a Swedish ferry called MS Zenobia sank in the Mediterranean Sea close to Larnaca, Cyprus on its first voyage. MS Zenobia now lies about 138 ft below the surface and has become an underwater attraction for divers.

The wreck’s site is regarded as a top ten wreck site on the planet as a result of the numerous challenges that are present there for divers to engage. The site is home to a 16-meter dive that runs along the starboard of the ship; beyond that, there’s also an advanced dive in the accommodation block of the ship.
