This massive Swedish roll-on/roll-off ferry dramatically capsized and sank outside Larnaca harbour on her maiden voyage in 1980, taking over 100 articulated lorries with her. Lying on her port side in 16 to 42 metres, the Zenobia is often called the "Titanic of the Mediterranean." Its sheer size allows for numerous dives, exploring truck decks, the bridge, and accommodation areas. The eerie sight of cargo still chained in place, combined with prolific marine life like groupers and barracuda, makes it a world-class wreck dive.
