About This Site

Oued Yquem, a merchant ship hit by a submarine during World War II in 1943. It lies on a sandy bottom at 39 m of depth. This require an exciting descent in the blue. It was made out of iron and wood. Interesting parts of it are the propeller shaft and the bricks of the boiler since it was a steam propulsion ship. Big groupers, murey eals, crabs and lobsters permanently live in the wreck, and you can easily spot shoals of snappers patrolling the wreck.
