Hildur (Wreck)

The Hildur is one of our favourite wreck dives on Grenada’s southwest coast, a proper dive into a proper ship. Sunk intentionally in 2007, she’s settled upright at 32 metres, just off the Grand Mal wall. We love the feeling of swimming over her deck, seeing the structure emerge from the blue. What makes Hildur a standout is her character and the deep-water life she’s attracted. You’ll find enormous black coral trees clinging to the hull, swaying gently in the current – a beautiful contrast to the ship’s steel. Exploring the cargo holds is a real highlight; just be mindful of the silt inside. You’ll kick it up easily. We’ve often seen large barracuda circling the mast, and the resident schoolmasters are usually out in force. Look closely for shy brotulas tucked into crevices and trumpetfish camouflaged against the metal. It’s a dive that rewards slow exploration, perfect for those who appreciate wrecks with a bit of history and a lot of developing reef.
