M.V. Corinthian - St. Kitts

The M.V. Corinthian is a solid dive, a tugboat sitting upright at about 20 meters on a sandy bottom. We find the structure still quite intact, and it’s become a home for some really nice black coral trees. Look closely for reef fish darting in and out of the superstructure. Off to the side, a shallower reef starts around 12 meters, dropping to a small wall covered in sponges. We’ve often spotted garden eels peeking from the sand near the wreck, and sometimes a stingray or two glides past. It’s a good spot for a relaxed exploration, not too deep, offering a nice mix of wreck and reef.
