Larnaca Snorkelling Zenobia Wreck

Met at the boat, jumped on, told where water and coffee was. Staff were super friendly. Got to the wreck site and given our fins and mask, staff happily changed fins that were too small, then we jumped in. Had about an hour snorkeling. Visibility was pretty good and could just see wreck if we duck dived down. Could see a fair few fish from the surface. Other reviews moaning about not being able to see the wreck, it is a dive wreck so there is always that chance you won't get to see it, you are an add on to the scuba tour but it's 13€ for a nice boat trip, hire of equipment and a snorkel in the sea, can't expect much more for that! Staff were great and weren't just focussed on the scuba group they made us feel super welcome, couldn't fault it!

Water was agreeable but there was no fish and we couldn’t see the wreck while snorkeling

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!
