Larnaca Snorkelling Zenobia Wreck
Description
Plongez dans les merveilles sous-marines envoûtantes de Larnaca avec notre visite exclusive de l'épave de Zenobia, un site de plongée réputé pour son importance historique et son environnement marin captivant. Le Zenobia, un ferry suédois qui a coulé en 1980, se trouve à 42 mètres de profondeur au large de Larnaca. Cette épave colossale, s'étendant sur plus de 172 mètres, crée un paysage sous-marin impressionnant qui attire les aventuriers comme les passionnés d'histoire. La coque et les ponts du Zénobie se sont transformés en un récif artificiel vibrant, regorgeant de vie marine. Les plongeurs en apnée peuvent rencontrer une variété de créatures marines, y compris des bancs de poissons colorés, des barracudas, des mérous et des murènes. L'épave recèle également des artefacts intrigants, de ses hélices massives aux restes des véhicules qu'elle transportait autrefois. Que vous soyez un plongeur chevronné ou un explorateur débutant, l'épave Zenobia promet une aventure inoubliable sous les vagues.

We felt like an add on to the scuba trip, we got very little information about the wreck or what we might see, we didn’t get tea, coffee or water as advertised and we were back in 90 minutes rather than the two hours advertised. It was hard to see much of the wreck although bread was thrown in to encourage fish. Masks were poorly fitting so suggest taking your own if possible.
Had booked for the " Yellow Submarine Boat" tour on- line from Mumbai before my arrival in Larnaca..Departure was scheduled for 1000 hrs from Larnaca Marina Bay.I joined this cruise just to view the " ZENOBIA SHIPWRECK" off the coast of Larnaca.Departure was prompt at 10.00 hrs with Mr Costas,a local Cypriot , the boat's Captain at the wheels and also the guide with his assistant Mr Taher from Egypt handling the boats other functions.There were a few other tourists in the boat akin to a small private cruise.A wonderful cruise along Larnaca coastline with free drinks served during the cruise.Got a beautiful view of Larnaca coastline from the boat with the Mediterranean sea being a bit choppy, although externally seeming deceptively calm.We went upto Mckenzie Beach which is next to Larnaca airport and got to view a plane take -off from the airport runway.Finally we arrived at the " ZENOBIA SHIPWRECK SITE" and we all 8 tourists went to the semi submersible deck below the main deck of the " Yellow Submarine Boat ". Got to view the silhouette of the Zenobia lying on its side as also spotting numerous small fish but no large fish species.Capt Castro told us that the big fish live inside the ships wreck which would be visible to scuba divers.After viewing the wreck from the " Yellow Submarine " glass bottom windows we changed into swimwear and began snorkeling in the vicinity.Excellent but visibility was poor and sea rough. Just got to see a faint silhouette of the Zenobia.
Excellent value for money! Could not rate this experience highly enough. Coordinates took us to easy, free parking, right next to boat which had the name clearly written on the side. Warm welcome from the captain who showed us where to get complementary coffee and water. Equipment provided for snorkelling was first rate. All crew were friendly and approachable. We had a fantastic couple of hours. Thank you!
