Why dive here
With 263+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - SHAKEM offers some of Southwest Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Shakem, a 58.9m carrier, rests upright at 30m on Grenada's southwest coast. Sunk in 2001, she's well on her way to becoming a proper artificial reef, with plenty of growth now adorning her decks and superstructure. We've seen schools of snapper holding in the holds and barracuda patrolling the mast. Penetration is possible for experienced wreck divers, with the engine room and bridge offering interesting exploration. It's a solid dive for those who appreciate a wreck with a bit of history and a developing ecosystem.
