The Zenobia Wreck is one of the top ten wreck dives in The World, as voted by divers each year. She sank on 7th June 1980, and rests on her port side between 19m and 42m. MS Zenobia was a Swedish built Challenger-class RO-RO ferry 172m long, and sank with over 100 vehicles and lorries. Engineers discovered that the computerized pumping system was pumping excess water into the side ballast tanks due to a software error. It has become a haven for a range of fantastic marine life. The outside of the wreck has much to see with the 2 massive props, roro doors, the lorries on the outside, funnels, bridge, cafeteria, the bow area and the accommodation. The Zenobia is the perfect location to complete your Advanced Open Water course. Additionally the Zenobia has amazing technical diving routes where you can hone your technical skills and complete some of your technical diving courses there.

A wonderful dive for beginners to experience their first time underwater. A lovely beach to easily access the water, complete a few safety skills and then head out to the breakwaters to see a lovely array of fish, max depth 5 mtr.
