Persia (Wreck)

The Persia is a newer wreck, only going down in 2018, but she’s already a fantastic dive. We think she makes a brilliant second dive after one of the deeper wrecks, especially if you want to explore something a bit more intact. We've always found her sitting upright and proud on the seabed, usually at about 33 meters, making for a nice, comfortable depth. You can actually poke around inside the cargo holds, where you'll still spot remnants of her last shipment – sweets and clothing. It’s like a time capsule, a real glimpse into a working vessel. Visibility here averages around 15 meters, which we find is plenty to appreciate her 30-meter length. Because she's a bit further out, about 6.5 miles from Grenada, and exposed to some decent currents, you'll see more of the ocean's regular inhabitants. Lionfish are common, unfortunately, but we've seen plenty of nurse sharks cruising around the deck, likely drawn in by the easy prey. On a good day, you might even spot a sleeping turtle tucked into the superstructure. She's a great choice for advanced divers looking for a less broken-up wreck and a chance to see some healthy pelagic action.
