Scuba divers will want to visit the wreck of this large freighter, which was rated by Skin Diver Magazine as being in the top 20 in the Caribbean. The 144 foot ship sank in a storm in 1985, and then, four years later, the sunken ship was broken in half during Hurricane Hugo.

The two parts of the wreck lie in 50 feet of water. The surfaces are beautifully encrusted with coral, and both parts of the wreck are home to numerous fish, including Angelfish, Rays, Snappers and Squirrel Fish.

There are four dive centers on St. Kitts: Kenneth's Dive Center, Pro-Divers, Dive St. Kitts, and Frigate Bay Divers.

For divers who are coming to Nevis, there is currently one dive center on that island, and that is Scuba Safaris on Oualie Beach.
