MS Zenobia

172-metre Swedish-built Ro-Ro ferry that capsized in Larnaca Bay on her maiden voyage in June 1980 after a software fault flooded the port ballast tanks. She came to rest on her port side in 42 m of water roughly 1.5 km offshore and has since become the Mediterranean's signature wreck. The starboard hull breaks the thermocline at 16 m, the wheelhouse and bridge sit around 18–22 m, and the cargo decks open at 28–36 m with 104 articulated trucks still chained inside, hanging at impossible angles. The propellers and rudder at the stern reach the full 42 m. Resident grouper, barracuda schools, and a long standing moray live in the structure; permit only penetrations of the upper car deck and engine room are run by Larnaca operators for trained wreck divers.
