Scuba Diving in Grenada Caribbean
Dive Site: San Juan
Location: 2 miles from Hardy Bay, St Georges
Description: Fishing boat
Length:
Depth: 27 metres
Visibility: 20 metres
Rating: ****
The San Juan is a recently discovered wreck of an old fishing vessel, which makes a fantastic dive. There can be a current, but if not some penetration is possible. The wreck is mostly intact and nurse sharks are often seen in and around the wreck as well as batfish, barracudas and eagle rays.
A fabulous dive. In a strong curent so negative entry from boat and straight down shot line to bottom (27 metres). The wreck was heavily battered by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and is now very broken. Met at the bottom by 5 - 6 large nurse sharks who posed for a very good photo shoot. Surrounds covered by the local reef fish plus a few large lobster. Thoroughly enjoyable.
