ROSE MILLICENT - Saint-Pierre
Dropping down onto the Rose Millicent, you’re met with a relatively intact cargo ship resting upright at 50 metres. The bow still points towards the surface, a ghostly sentinel against the blue. We find ourselves drawn to the main holds, which are often swarming with schools of grunts and snapper. You’ll spot plenty of barracuda too, usually lurking in the shadows of the wheelhouse. This site is a solid pick for experienced wreck divers comfortable with depth and a bit of a current, which can sometimes sweep through here.
