Why dive here
With 263+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - Anina (Wreck) offers some of Southwest Coast's richest wreck diving. Water sits around 27°C.
The Anina is one of those wrecks we keep coming back to. She was a cargo vessel, and you’ll find her resting on her starboard side at 30m, a relatively recent sinking in 2019, which means she’s still in excellent shape for exploring. We love how much of her structure remains intact; you can really get a feel for her working life. Drop down and you’ll find her hull covered in the beginnings of new growth, little clusters of sponges and corals attracting smaller reef fish. Schools of horse-eye jacks often swirl around the mast, and we’ve seen barracuda hanging patiently off the bow, eyeing up their next meal. Head into the holds if you’re comfortable with overhead environments; they’re quite open and you’ll often find grouper tucked away, or even a sleepy nurse shark if you’re lucky. Visibility averages about 14m here, which gives her a slightly mysterious feel without being too challenging. This is a great dive for anyone comfortable at depth and keen to explore a well-preserved wreck that’s steadily transforming into an artificial reef.

Anina (Wreck) Wreck History
Year Sunk
2019
Vessel Type
cargo ship
Cause
unknown
For years, the inter-island cargo vessel Anina was a silent, rusting landmark in the St. George's anchorage in Grenada. The abandoned 'ghost ship' finally gave up its battle with the elements in August 2019, mysteriously slipping beneath the waves overnight to find its final resting place on the seabed. The sinking, while not a deliberate scuttling, was the result of years of neglect that allowed the sea to reclaim the vessel.
Now one of Grenada's newest wreck dives, the Anina offers a fantastic exploration for advanced divers. The vessel lies on its starboard side in 31 meters of water, almost completely intact. Its newness means the structures are still sharp and well-defined, with the bridge, cargo holds, and deck equipment all waiting to be explored. As a fresh artificial reef, it is rapidly being colonized by Grenada's vibrant marine life, and divers can already see the first corals taking hold and schools of fish moving in to make the Anina their new home.
