The wreck is a diving boat (you can see the place of the cylinders at the back) it's not a banca but a kind of speed boat, when you go back (ascent) try to go a little bit to go the south, at 40M there is a nice cavern if you have time with your deco stop, it's interesting and there is some big fish also Be after the drop off (big blue) you should parallel to Tingo point and see the extreme point of Olango island. Underwater it's at the north of the cavern (around 50M to the north) the top of the wreck(it's the back) is around 75M and the front follow the slope until 85M.

There are lots of small nudibranches on the rocks around this site so take your time. The dive starts with a gentle slope until you reach a wall that drops about 15 meters... stay on the top to find the more interesting stuff... go to the bottom for the big snappers. Take a short boat ride from any of the dive shops .. the site is not accessible from the beach as it is in front of a rock face 2 meters tall. its 500 meters north of the Hilton hotel. there are no marks to show the site so ask the local DMs
Punta West

this is a dirty dive much like the two sites further up north but again this side is full of small nudies and baby fish ... its a real breading ground for frog fish so move really slow and watch out for 5mm orange spots! Take a short boat ride from any of the dive shops on the other side of the island. you can get there by shore but its rocky so I would not recommend it
