1 / 4 Wreck (Stern Courier)

The 1/4 Wreck, or Stern Courier, is our pick for a chill afternoon dive on Grenada’s southwest coast. It’s not about big swim-throughs here. This is the Courier’s stern section, tossed upside down at 11 metres, a jumble of hull plates and engine block. We love drifting over it, tracing the lines of the collapsed metal, finding a chain moray peeking from a dark crevice or a red clingfish tucked into the coral that’s steadily reclaiming the wreck. Visibility often hangs around 16 metres, which gives you plenty of time to hunt for the smaller stuff. We’ve found spinyhead blennies and dusky blennies in the nooks and crannies, and once, a tiny seahorse clinging to soft coral. It’s a gentle exploration, perfect for divers who prefer macro life and history over deep penetration. Come here late afternoon when the light shifts, it makes the colours pop.
