The Amoco Cadiz is the wreck of a supertanker located in the Molène Archipelago. The vessel lies broken across a depth range of 5 to 30 metres, with an average depth of 25 metres. This site is strictly for intermediate divers due to strong currents, potential surf, and an overhead environment within the hull sections. Visibility typically ranges from 5 to 10 metres. Access is by boat only, and divers must be aware of boat traffic when surfacing. Given the challenging conditions and tidal windows, booking with a local guided operator is essential. Divers should use appropriate exposure protection for water temperatures between 11 and 13 degrees Celsius.
