Zenobia Shipwreck Diving in Protaras: 2 Dives

A couple of dives into one of the world's best shipwrecks, quite deep down

Zenobia shipwreck diving in Protaras consists of two dives to 30 meters on a single day, with a live English-speaking guide, all equipment, transport and coffee included. Advanced certification and a dive within the last 12 months are required. The first dive explores the rear half: propeller, rudder and aft deck with trucks. The second reaches the front, including the accommodation, cafeteria and wheelhouse. The full day runs six hours.

The experience

The Zenobia is a cargo ship that sank off the coast of Protaras and ranks among the top shipwrecks in the world. Both dives go to 30 meters, so you need Advanced certification or higher and must have dived within the last 12 months. The operator will contact you via WhatsApp after booking to confirm you meet these requirements. If you're unsure whether your certification qualifies, contact them directly before you book.

The first dive takes you through the rear half of the wreck. You'll navigate the propeller and rudder, move back through the rear ramps, and explore the aft deck where trucks sit frozen in place. The second dive shifts to the front of the ship, where you can penetrate into the accommodation, cafeteria and wheelhouse before finishing at the lifeboats. Both dives are led by a guide who speaks English. All scuba equipment is provided, so you bring only your certification card and your experience.

Transport picks you up and brings you back. The day lasts six hours total. Coffee and tea are included. Lunch may be included depending on which taxi boat is available on your dive day. The operator will confirm this when they contact you to verify your certification.
