ROSALINE B - Tobago
The Rosaline B isn't your typical Tobago dive. This motor vessel went down in rough weather back in 1972, and what's left is now scattered across the seabed in Grand-Chemin Bay. We're talking more of a debris field than a pristine wreck, but that's precisely its charm. It’s a fantastic spot for macro enthusiasts, as the broken pieces are thoroughly encrusted, providing hideouts for crabs, blennies, and sometimes even the odd juvenile moray eel. If you enjoy a treasure hunt feel, piecing together the story of a wreck through its scattered remains, then this site is a quiet winner.
