About OAK-MOORE WRECK
Oak-Moore Wreck is an early twentieth-century steamship wreck off Punta Paloma in Tarifa, resting on sand and gravel with its bow-to-stern orientation still clear. It is an expert-level dive that rewards Nitrox and deep-dive qualifications, disciplined tide planning, and calm handling when the Strait's currents line up.
