MIAU
Why dive here
With 140+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), octopuses, sea turtles and sperm whales - MIAU offers some of Al Hoceima's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 16-23°C, warmest July, August, September.
The MIAU wreck in Al Hoceima sits at a consistent 17 metres, making it an accessible dive for most certification levels. It's a barge, fairly broken up now, but the remaining structure provides interesting swim-throughs and plenty of shelter for smaller fish. We’ve seen good numbers of bream and moray eels making homes in the twisted metal. It’s a solid wreck dive without strong currents, ideal for divers looking to explore an artificial reef without needing advanced skills.
