Hema One
Advanced Atlantic wreck for current, structure, and big pelagics.
Local operator required
A charter or dive operator is the practical way to manage entry, surface pickup, and current timing.
Hema One is a south-coast Grenada wreck on its side in current-exposed water. It suits experienced boat divers looking for a committed wreck profile rather than a relaxed reef.
About Hema One
Hema One is a current-exposed Grenada wreck dive on the island's south coast. The freighter rests on its side and gives advanced boat divers a structure-heavy profile with a broken hull, an overhead cargo-hold section, and open-water approaches that can feel exposed when Atlantic conditions pick up. Plan for current, depth, and a guided boat pickup, with sharks, rays, barracuda, and occasional turtles often associated with the wreck.
