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.
