About King Mitch Wreck
King Mitch Wreck is Grenada's Atlantic-side wreck for divers who want a serious offshore plan, not a relaxed sightseeing stop. The converted minesweeper turned cargo vessel lies on its side, and the current shapes the dive as much as the hull itself, so it rewards steady buoyancy, disciplined gas use and a team that can hold position in moving water. The payoff is sharks, rays, turtles and fast-moving pelagic life around an atmospheric wreck.
