    Anyody been? There seems to be a wealth of dive sites and hopefully loads of new ones opening up this year. Really I'm just looking for a recommendation for a PADI shop.

    A few years ago I did the Zenobia - a bit away but Cyprus isn't massive. Might well be worth the trip if you can. Never fived in Paphos though...

    The dive shop I've been in touch with do a day trip to the Zenobia, and it comes highly recommended. Apparenlty you can still see the skeletons of the livestock in the holds (if you want to venture inside). Plus there's artic lorrys scattered around.

    That's the one....didn't venture inside -was only my 5th dive or so. But it was great! She's lying on her side and the lorries are hanging from the chains. You can see the bow (pretty much!) from the stern - it's well worth the dive!

    A few piccys a Croatian guy took:

    Went to Cyprus last year for a quick holiday.
    Great place. Get out of the tourist ghettos and see the mountains as well.
    But the only thing worth diving there is the Zenobia - and depending on how adventurous/experienced you are you could spend 2 to 3 days on it without getting bored. The swim through of the lorry deck must be half the overall length of the wreck (80, 90m?) so you should bring extra tank/bailout just in case.
