About This Dive Spot
Hema One is the site of a 200-foot (70-meter) cargo vessel that sank in 2011 while traveling from Grenada without cargo. The wreck lies on its starboard side at a depth of 105 feet (31 meters), positioned across the prevailing current. The collapsed cargo hold has become a habitat for various marine life, including lobsters, sharks, and cottonwicks. Divers can observe schools of eagle rays above the wreck, along with barracuda, nurse sharks, and blacktip sharks in the vicinity. Turtles are also frequently seen resting near the stern of the vessel.
