Two guided boat dives on the iconic MS Zenobia—one of the Mediterranean’s most accessible large wrecks. Expect clear water, abundant marine life, and configurable routes for Open Water through technical divers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the dive boat and the water takes you: a cool, clear Mediterranean blue that makes the silhouette of a 172‑meter freighter appear like a sunken cathedral. The Zenobia, lying on her starboard side with bow and stern attractively spaced, fills the view as schools of fish thread through rusted cab doors and the cargo of articulated lorries.

History
The Zenobia sank in 1980 during her maiden voyage, carrying trucks whose silhouettes now frame interior dive routes and provide substrate for reef life.
Conservation
The wreck functions as an artificial reef; divers should follow no‑touch rules to protect fragile encrusting life and avoid disturbing resident species.

Bring your certification and logbook
Operators require an Open Water certification minimum and may ask to see recent logged dives for deeper profiles; carry both on the day.
Use a dive computer and SMB
Depths can reach beyond recreational limits; a dive computer plus a surface marker buoy improves safety during ascent and surface pickups.
Plan for interior limits
Only enter wreck sections if briefed and escorted—tight passages, silt and overhead environments are real hazards.
Hydrate and sun‑protect between dives
Long boat runs and midday Mediterranean sun mean dehydration and sunburn are common—drink water and use reef‑safe sunscreen.
Dive computer
Tracks depth, no‑stop limits and ascent rates for precise decompression management.
Surface marker buoy (SMB)
Essential for signaling and safe surface pickups after deep wreck dives.
Torch / dive light
Needed for interior wreck sections and inspecting shadowed crevices.
Exposure suit (3–7mm)
Thermal protection varies by season—bring a 3mm in summer, 5–7mm or a hood in spring/winter.
