Zen Divers Ltd

Located in Larnaca, Zenobia Divers serves as a primary gateway to some of the most significant underwater sites in the Mediterranean. The centre is built around the exploration of the Zenobia wreck, a vessel widely considered one of the top five wreck dives globally.

Whether you are looking to complete your first Open Water Diver course or are a technical diver aiming for deep, complex penetrations, the centre provides the infrastructure required for both disciplines. Their operations cover everything from shallow reef exploration to advanced technical diving at depths reaching 100 metres.

The centre operates as an SSI Dive Resort, providing a structured environment for training and exploration. They are multi-certified, with affiliations including SSI, SDI, TDI, and NAUI, ensuring a broad range of standards and recognition for their students.

The team is equipped to handle a diverse clientele, offering instruction in English. Their curriculum is designed to support a diver's entire progression, from initial certification through to professional-level career programmes.

The training catalogue is extensive, starting with foundational courses such as Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver. For those looking to specialise, the centre offers EAN Nitrox, Deep Diving, and Night & Limited Visibility courses.

Technical divers can find advanced training through Wreck Diving, Advanced Wreck Diving, and Scooter / DPV Diving. The centre also provides specialised instruction in Computer Diving, Equipment Techniques, and the Science of Diving, as well as Gas Blender training for those moving towards professional roles.

The fleet consists of three dedicated vessels: the M/V Queen Zenobia, the Explorer N, and the Deep Blue Yacht. These boats allow for varied diving experiences, from standard recreational trips to more specialised excursions.

Nitrox is available on board to extend bottom times during your dives. The centre also conducts night dives, utilising their vessels to access sites after sunset.

High-quality diving equipment is available for hire on-site, covering the essential kit needed for both recreational and technical diving.

For those looking to extend their nitrogen loading limits, the centre provides Nitrox services. The facility is set up to support a wide range of diver needs, from basic entry-level equipment to more specialised technical kit.

The surrounding waters are home to a variety of larger pelagic and reef species. You may encounter Great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda), Tuna (Thunnus), and Amberjack (Seriola) patrolling the deeper sections, alongside resident turtles and Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta).

On the reef and around the wrecks, the biodiversity is high. Look for Grouper (Epinephelus), various species of Sea bream (Sparidae), and Lionfish (Pterois volitans). Wrasse (Labridae) and Damselfish are frequently seen amongst the structures, while Moray eel (Muraenidae) often inhabit the crevices.

Macro enthusiasts will find plenty to observe, including Nudibranch (Chromodoris willani), Seahorse (Hippocampus kuda), and various Octopus (Octopus vulgaris). Other interesting finds include cone snails, bluespotted trumpetfish, and Southern stingray (Hypanus americanus).

The area is known for its clear Mediterranean waters, providing a reliable environment for both recreational and technical diving. The centre's location in Larnaca allows for efficient access to both the deeper wreck sites and the shallower reef flats.
