I am a Shipwreck addict! Best Caribbean wrecks?

[Phil Ravlin]

I have covered the Florida Keys quite well, and love them! Spiegel Grove, Duane, Bibb, Eagle, Thunderbolt are all great.
Who has some other recommendations? I am mainly looking for Caribbean locations (Mexico, Roatan, Belize, others?)

Grenada. Lots of screamers as well as purpose sunk wrecks.

There is a Russian patrol boat boat out of Veradera Cuba that is probably the best wreck I've been on. The rest of the diving was pretty mediocre and water was piss warm, food was less than good, coffee and rum were amazing, history and architecture were amazing, the experience was incredible, but as a vacation...meh.

The only dive op in Cuba is Barracuda Scuba and they don't always have the fuel allotment to go to the patrol boat. Take your own gear and EVERYTHING you could possibly need to repair it. We left them 1000 tank orings and you would have thought we left them gold nuggets. Most orings were leaking and unless the stream of bubbles were at least the size of a quarter....that wasn't a leak.

The boat still has the guns on it and was is great shape. There are large holes for penetration, but short fills are common so you may only have a few minutes at the wreck. I think it's at 90ish feet.

Cuba was an amazing trip. It also sucked...and I would go back tomorrow if asked. I'm not schizophrenic either...well maybe....definitely nucking futs at least, but that's another thread entirely.

The wreck was the best dive of the trip by far. Travel to Cuba was relatively easy.

If your wanting a very very different vacation, Cuba is it.

Here is a trip report from 2019 With a pic of the guns. CUBA-TRIP REPORT- Havana and Veradero August/September 2019
