    Pagao is a deep wreck site off Al Hoceima, sitting on the seabed at 55 meters. It's classified as a dangerous wreck, so this one's strictly for experienced technical divers comfortable with penetration and overhead environments. We found the stern section particularly intact, offering good exploration opportunities within the hold. Look for conger eels and morays making homes in the deeper parts of the structure.

    Safety Notes

    Maximum depth 55m exceeds recreational limits (40m). Technical diving certification and equipment required.

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.

    Always perform a 3-minute safety stop at 5m before surfacing.
