San Juan (Wreck) is Grenada's Atlantic-side wreck for divers who want a broken-up cargo hull with real shark-and-ray energy rather than a tidy sightseeing stop. The wreck was shifted by Hurricane Ivan and now sits as a current-swept structure on coral rubble and sand, so the dive rewards steady buoyancy, clear awareness of the wreck line and a comfortable handle on moving water. It suits advanced scuba divers who are happy to work close to the hull and keep an eye on depth.
