Comments	Although not for beginners, this unique diving should be on the "to-do" list of most divers. The large shoals of fish swarming over the wrecks and around the divers were wonderful. The Olympus crew were friendly and well-organized. Trips from their dock to the wrecks were long (1 to 2 hours) but the boat is comfortable and large. The long rides and the sometimes high seas can be a challenge to less experienced divers. These fabulous wrecks host a wide variety of sea life (lentil sea spiders, oyster toadfish, starfish and lots more. The large groups of sizable fish and the predators constantly on the hunt were fascinating to watch. I would happily go again.
