The main reason for divers to come to Larnaca is the wreck of the Zenobia, a Ro-Ro ferry that sunk in 1980 on her maiden voyage only a few hundred meters from the harbor due to a fault in the ballast computer. The ship now lies on its side, fully loaded with cargo at a depth of 42 meters, with the top of the wreck at 18m and thus easily accessible to all divers.
Some other good diving spots are the HMS Cricket Wreck, an old British battleship that rests upside down and is home to groupers and other fish, the Larnaca Bay Reefs and the Cyclopes Caves.
Many beach access points lead to great shore diving and boat diving is plentiful.
The water temperature varies between 16 and 27º C in the diving hight season, a few degrees colder off-season.
Complete wet suit or wet suit with shorts.
Visibility between 20 an 35 meters, lowering to a few meters in the winter.
It has a Mediterranean climate, with temperatures around 12ºC in winter and 27ºC in summer.
The plane is the fastest and most comfortable way to go to Larnaca.
Visit the Teather, the Art Gallery, the Church of Ayios Lazaros, the Larnaca Fort, the Pierides Museum, the Larnaca Marina and the Muslim mosque of Hala Sultan. There are two schools of art: The Alexander College, specializing in design themes, and The Cyprus College of Art. Shopping and relaxing in the beach is also a popular choice.
