About this site
The USS Olivette wreck lies off Havana in the Caribbean's Straits of Florida. Resting at 30 meters, this historic steamship attracts divers with its intact structure and abundant marine life. Schools of tropical fish swirl around the hull, while moray eels and barracuda patrol the deck. Strong currents create ideal conditions for drift diving, offering thrilling encounters with pelagics. The wreck's coral-encrusted remains provide shelter for lobsters and crustaceans. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters, revealing the ship's fascinating details. Advanced divers appreciate the depth and current challenges. Nearby reefs add to the area's biodiversity, making this a premier Caribbean wreck dive.
