M.O. Wreck (The Alexion Hope) Qatar

This is one of the most well known wrecks in the region.  The MO wreck is the remains of the Alexion Hope; a Greek general cargo vessel which now lies at around 25 metres.  It was a longish boat ride out, around one and a half hours by speed boat.  We were very lucky; the viz was amazing and was a cracking dive, thanks to Spike the captain for making it possible.

  1. Not bad at all! I've definitely had worse visibility and there's plenty of fish, worth a look.
