Imagine floating weightlessly through crystal-clear water, and suddenly the colossal shadow of a 172-meter-long ocean liner appears before you. This is exactly the feeling that awaits you on our next trip. The OMS Dive Store is packing the gear and organizing a breathtaking dive safari to the legendary Zenobia off the coast of Cyprus.
If you're looking for adventure and want to explore one of the world's most fascinating diving areas, you've come to the right place. We'll take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
The legend calls: Why the Zenobia is a must-have
The Zenobia is considered by experts to be one of the best shipwrecks in the world. The Swedish RoRo ferry sank in 1980 on its maiden voyage and has rested on its port side at a depth of 16 to 42 meters ever since. The best part? It sank without any loss of life, but with all its cargo.
Even today, over 100 trucks, fully loaded with all sorts of goods, lie scattered on the seabed or still hang from the decks. The sheer size of the ship takes your breath away. You can easily spend several days diving on the Zenobia and discover completely new details each time.
Furthermore, over the decades the wreck has transformed into an artificial reef. Large groupers, schools of barracuda, moray eels, and countless colorful reef fish have made the Zenobia their home. This combination of massive steel structure and vibrant marine life makes every dive a truly unforgettable experience.
Our local partner: Scuba Tech Diving Centre
An outstanding diving trip depends entirely on having the right local base. That's why we leave nothing to chance. For our Zenobia Safari, we work with one of the best teams in Cyprus: the Scuba Tech Diving Centre.
This dive center knows the waters around Cyprus like the back of its hand. They offer us perfect infrastructure, short distances to the harbor, and boats that are precisely tailored to the needs of divers.
Under the direction of Peter Crane
The heart of the Scuba Tech Diving Centre is its manager, Peter Crain. Peter has been running the center for many years and brings an impressive passion for diving. He is an absolute expert when it comes to the wreck of the Zenobia.
Peter is not only an outstanding recreational diver, but also a highly qualified specialist in technical diving (Tec Diving). Whether you want to glide leisurely along the outer superstructure of the Zenobia or, as an experienced Tec diver, explore deeper into the fascinating cargo holds – with Peter and his team, you're in the best hands. His calm, highly professional manner will always make you feel completely safe, allowing you to fully concentrate on the experience.
