Why dive here
With 476+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and humpback whales - General Rogers (Wreck) offers some of St. Thomas & St. John's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The General Rogers sits upright, a real bonus for a wreck dive, and she’s just gorgeous at 21 metres. We love how accessible she is, making it a perfect spot for newer wreck divers to get a feel for penetration without anything too daunting. The stern is our favourite part, with barracuda often holding station off the mast, and the cargo holds are open, inviting you inside for a quick peek. Look for the resident snapper and grunt schools tucked into the darker corners. We’d suggest going early in the morning; the light filtering through the clear Caribbean water really brings out the textures of the corroded metal and the colourful sponges now encrusting her. It’s not a huge wreck, but there’s enough here to keep you exploring for a solid bottom time.
