This dive site, known as Courier, represents a quarter section of a larger wreck, lying upright on a rubble bottom at approximately 15 meters (45 feet). It sank in the early 1980s and is located about 1.5 miles from its presumed sister sections. Navigation involves exploring the coral-covered wreck pieces and the surrounding rubble, which provides a unique habitat for various marine life, making it an excellent muck dive. The site's history is tied to the maritime transport of larger wreck components, with these sections not making it to their intended final resting place.
The Courier wreck is heavily covered in coral, providing shelter and sustenance for a diverse array of marine animals. Divers can expect to encounter numerous "weird critters" characteristic of a rich muck diving environment, including various invertebrates, small crustaceans, and nudibranchs. Additionally, the site is home to many angelfish and cowfish, adding bursts of color and movement to the underwater scenery.
While the Courier can be visited year-round, the best time for diving in Grenada is typically during the dry season from January to May, offering calmer seas and excellent visibility. This site is particularly recommended for macro photography enthusiasts due to its abundance of small subjects. Both scuba divers and freedivers can enjoy the site, though freedivers may find the average depth of 8 meters more accessible for prolonged observation of the smaller inhabitants.
