MS Zenobia was a Swedish built Challenger-class RO-RO ferry launched in 1979 that capsized and sank in the Mediterranean Sea, outside Larnaka, in June 1980 on her maiden voyage, thus nicknamed “The Titanic of the Mediterranean”. She now rests on her port side in approximately 42 meters of water. The wreck is consistently ranked as one of the top 10 recreational dive sites worldwide. As a dive site Zenobia provides a wide range of challenges to scuba divers, from a fairly simple dive to 16 meters depth along the starboard side of the ship, moving up to a more advanced dive inside the upper card deck and accommodation block. Located 200 meters from the Zenobia ship wreck at a depth of 32 meters, and featuring the same marine life with schools of fish, is the Alexandra wreck, a 37 meter wooden Egyptian fishing vessel.
