Scuba diving in Larnaca: Zenobia Wreck for beginners

Learn to dive on a real wreck instead of a pool

A private scuba diving class in Larnaca where you learn to dive on the Zenobia Wreck, a sunken cargo ship. Your instructor teaches you equipment, safety and basic skills before you descend. The dive lasts three hours and includes all gear, the boat ride out, and photos of your first dive underwater.

The experience

Zenobia Divers runs the class from start to finish on the Zenobia Wreck itself, a real dive site off Larnaca rather than a confined pool or shallow bay. You begin with a thorough introduction to the equipment and safety protocols on the boat, then your instructor walks you through the basic diving skills you'll need before you enter the water. The wreck sits at a depth that works for beginners, and your guide stays with you the entire time, patient and experienced enough to keep you confident as you explore.

The boat ride takes you out to the site, and once you're underwater, you'll see the wreck structure around you as you practice the skills your instructor has just taught you. The three-hour session includes all the diving gear you need, so you arrive with nothing but a swimsuit. Your instructor photographs and films your dive, so you leave with images of yourself underwater on the wreck.

What’s included

• All diving gear including wetsuit and tank.
• private instructor for the full three hours.
• boat transport to and from the Zenobia Wreck.
• photos and videos of your dive.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Greek.

What is the Zenobia Wreck and why is it a good place to learn diving?

The Zenobia is a sunken cargo ship off Larnaca that sits at a depth suitable for beginners. Diving on a real wreck gives you a genuine underwater environment to explore while you're learning, rather than practicing in a confined space.

Do I need to have dived before, or is this truly for complete beginners?

This class is built for people with no diving experience at all. Your instructor covers equipment, safety and basic skills on the boat before you enter the water, so you start from the beginning.

What's included in the three-hour dive?

The class includes all diving gear, your private instructor, the boat ride to and from the wreck, and photos and videos of your dive. You don't need to bring or rent equipment separately.

Are there any health conditions that would prevent me from diving?

Diving is not recommended for people with spinal injuries, high blood pressure, or poor cardiovascular health, or for pregnant travelers. The minimum age is 18. If you have questions about your own health, contact the operator before booking.
