Olympia

Olympia is less a dive site and more a time capsule, a sunken army supply ship from World War II. We love dropping down onto her, seeing that silhouette emerge from the blue at around 22 metres. It’s a proper wreck dive, with plenty of entry points to explore the interior – just be mindful of your buoyancy and those tight spaces. The ship's bow is our favourite, where you often find schools of buffalo bream hanging out, seemingly guarding the old structure. The stern, deeper at 30 metres, is where you really see the coral growth taking hold, completely encrusting the metal. That's where we tend to spot the bigger pufferfish, sometimes a golden-girdled coralfish peeking from a porthole. Visibility here can vary, but generally, it's clear enough to appreciate the sheer scale of the wreck. Dive it in the morning if you can; the light filtering through the decks is something else. It's a dive for those who enjoy a bit of history with their marine life, a perfect blend of exploration and observation.
