Why dive here
With 140+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), octopuses, sea turtles and sperm whales - SWIFT (PROBABLY) offers some of Al Hoceima's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 16-23°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Swift, or what we’re pretty sure is the Swift, sits at a comfortable 13 metres just off Al Hoceima. This old pilot boat, intentionally scuttled back in '87, is an easy dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon. We found it’s become a home for all sorts, with moray eels peeking from portholes and small schools of damselfish flitting through the superstructure. You can poke around the wheelhouse, which is pretty open, and see how the Mediterranean has started to reclaim the metal. It’s a nice entry into wreck diving, approachable and calm.
