Why dive here
With 250+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - GRANTOR & A LICE M WINSLOW offers some of Punta Cana's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
The Grantor & A Lice M Winslow isn't your typical Caribbean wreck site. Forget those perfectly sunk, photogenic hulks. This is a story of a tow gone wrong, with a barge and its tug both ending up on the sand in '89. We love the chaos of it – the way the Grantor barge is broken in half, split open to the light, and the Alice M Winslow tug lies nearby, almost shy. What you get here is a sprawling, broken playground of twisted metal and concrete, colonised over decades. We've seen eagle rays glide over the main sections and big moray eels peeking from every crevice. Our favourite detail is the sheer scale of the barge's hold, now a wide-open cavern where schools of snapper drift in the currents. It’s not deep, which means more bottom time to really poke around. Head there in the morning, before the day boats get too busy, and you’ll often have the place to yourself.
Safety Notes
