King Mitch Wreck

The King Mitch, an old minesweeper that became a cargo vessel, offers a serious, rewarding dive on Grenada’s Southwest Coast. Sitting on her starboard side at 38 meters, with the stern facing the current, she's a substantial wreck at 70 meters long. We love the sense of history here, imagining her working life before becoming an artificial reef. You’ll find thick growth of hard corals along her exposed side, a testament to the currents that sweep past, bringing nutrients. Our favorite part is often the approach, keeping an eye out for the large schools of barracuda that swirl above the deck. We’ve also had incredible encounters with eagle rays gliding gracefully overhead, their silhouettes distinct against the blue. Inside, you can penetrate the cargo holds, where the light filters in, illuminating the occasional Creole wrasse darting through the shadows. This isn't a dive for beginners; the depth and potential for strong currents demand good buoyancy and comfort in open water, but the payoff is a wreck dive with real atmosphere and plenty of pelagic action.
