Red mooring ball tied to rudder or wreck and black mooring ball on the bow. (formerly Olympia Maru / formerly Morazon) Japanese army cargo ship lying on it's starboard side. Ca. 120m long/ Max depth 25m/ Min. depth 18m Bow heading 210 degrees WSW History: The origin and name of this cargo vessel is not really known. In his booklet "Operation against Coron Bay" HP. Landolt writes, that the name could be also Taiei Maru. The newest information (2010) is that it is called Ekkai Maru (ex Morazon). Possible dives on the wreck and things to see: The square cargo bays are an ideal way to enter the wreck and swim through it. From the second entrance to the left you can swim into the bridge area and out through the hole. The superstructure is very nicely covered with soft corals and bushes of black corals (yellow colored bushes) and there are a lot of lionfishes around always. Animals to see: Lots of schools of small types of fish.
