Why dive here
With 376+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, humpback whales, octopuses and orcas - PAMIR offers some of West Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Pamir, a scuttled motor vessel, lies upright in 15 meters of water off Barbados' west coast. This 48-meter wreck is a good option for newer wreck divers, or those looking for an easy second dive. We’ve found plenty of schooling fish swirling around the superstructure, and the open holds are straightforward to navigate. Keep an eye out for resident barracuda lurking in the deeper shadows of the engine room. It’s an accessible wreck, allowing for a relaxed exploration of its various nooks and crannies.
