HERALD

Herald isn’t your typical big-blue Providenciales drift dive, and that’s precisely why we love it. This early 20th-century steamship sits in almost no water at all, just off the beach. You can practically wade to it. It’s a snorkel or very shallow free-dive spot, making it perfect for non-divers or a relaxing surface interval. The wreck itself is a skeletal beauty. Sunken in a storm, the bow and stern sections are the most intact, with ribs and plating scattered across the sand in between. Schools of tiny silversides shimmer around the rusted frames, and we often spot juvenile snapper darting through the broken sections. Look closely in the nooks and crannies for tube worms and small crabs. It’s an easy, interesting exploration, especially on a calm, sunny day when the light penetrates right into the structure. We’d suggest going early in the morning before any crowds arrive; you’ll have the whole ghostly ship to yourself.
