Plongée à Cyprus — Cyprus

Cyprus offers the eastern Mediterranean's best wreck diving, headlined by the MS Zenobia — a Swedish roll-on/roll-off ferry that sank in 1980 and now ranks among the world's top ten wreck dives. Warm, calm seas and excellent visibility make it ideal for training and recreational divers alike. The island's rich history adds layers of topside exploration.
