Zenobia wreck: scuba diving near Larnaca, Cyprus

A splendid French diver Philippe and I made reckless incursions into the wreck of MS Zenobia, a huge ferry that tragicomically capsized and sank due to a software bug. The wreck, together with its load of heavy trucks and the rare remains of 1980 style floor carpeting, now rests close to Larnaca, Cyprus, at the depth of 16-42 meters. Many experts say this is one of the top wreck sites in the world. Beware though, eight divers never returned from the dark entrails of this massive vessel.
