Just browsing the web today, trying to take my mind off a grey & miserable UK January by thinking forward to Cyprus holiday in late summer.
Came upon references to a tourist submarine that used to operate out of Larnaca, but no info dated after 2002. Is it still operational?
Tourist submarine?

There is an outdated website http://www.sadkosub.com/
however, I found the phone numbers which you can call and ask for the details: +357 24 637667
Most probaly excursions are organized only during summer period.

I believe it is still operating.
It is a Russian submarine and they take tourists to the wreck of the Zenobia, a 10,000 tonne car ferry that sank on its maiden voyage in Larnaca harbour. I saw it many times when I was diving on the Zenbia in 2003 but I didn’t go at all last year.
Zenobia is home to a wide selection of marine life and they have a very attractive female diver that feeds the fish when the submarine is down.

It still operates 'cause there was some ad articles in local newspaper this summer about the submarine. Although about a month ago I was at the port and the advert about this submarine was still there. But I don't think there're a lot of people in this time of the year so if it works now - maybe you need to arrange the place in advance. Call them.

The sub was still operating during 2005.
My son and his friends regulary dive on the Zenobia and have to keep a wary eye open for the sub
A couple of years ago they were amazed to see an access door flapping around as the sub passed close by
OK so it was'nt a water tight door but it did make them wonder about safety

Many thanks for the helpful replies. Looks as if the answer is to wait until later in the year & give them a ring.
Certainly won't mention it to 'er indoors yet, as I don't want to raise her hopes.
Once again, many thanks.
