Why dive here
With 140+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), octopuses, sea turtles and sperm whales - OS 35 offers some of Al Hoceima's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 16-23°C, warmest July, August, September.
The OS 35 wreck in Al Hoceima sits at a friendly 14 meters, making it an easy dive for most. This isn't some ancient galleon; it's a modern ship, purposefully scuttled, which means it’s still very much a ship shape, upright and largely intact. You can swim through the holds, seeing how natural light plays off the metal, and peer into the bridge area. Already, barracuda schools cruise the decks, and we’ve spotted moray eels peeking from crevices. It’s a compelling site for divers who enjoy exploring structures and watching how marine life reclaims man-made objects.
