INGRAM DERRICK BARGE NO.6
Why dive here
With 343+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, humpback whales, sea turtles and frogfish - INGRAM DERRICK BARGE NO.6 offers some of Tobago's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Ingram Derrick Barge No. 6, now this is a proper training ground, not some deep, spooky wreck. We love it for its sheer accessibility. Sitting just five metres down, practically a snorkel, it’s a brilliant spot to get comfortable with wreck diving without any of the usual pressure. You’ll find the remains of the derrick structure, all gnarly metal beams and plates, now home to clouds of juvenile fish. Look closely in the crevices and you’ll often spot a moray eel peeking out or a trumpetfish trying to blend in with the wreckage. We’d suggest going early in the morning, before the boat traffic picks up, when the light really streams through the shallow water, making the metal gleam and the fish pop with colour. It’s perfect for new divers wanting to try a wreck, or for photographers looking for an easy, well-lit subject.
