XENY
Why dive here
With 140+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), octopuses, sea turtles and sperm whales - XENY offers some of Al Hoceima's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 16-23°C, warmest July, August, September.
Dropping onto the Xeny, you’re immediately struck by its sheer size. This old motor vessel, sunk in 1976, stretches over 90 metres, dominating the seabed at just 8 metres deep. We found the shallower depth really good for taking our time, poking around the superstructure, and appreciating the scale of the wreck without any Deco concerns. Schools of juvenile fish often hover just above the deck, and you’ll spot colourful nudibranchs clinging to the metalwork, especially near the stern. It's a great choice for newer wreck divers or photographers wanting a relaxed dive with plenty to explore.
