Local instructors are the normal way to dive the Boris wreck, and the site is best done with boat logistics in hand.
Also known as the Boris wreck, Tugboat Boris is a purpose-sunk tugboat off Mabouya Island in Carriacou. The wreck sits over a sandy bottom with a compact steel frame, open chambers, and coral growth that now make it feel like an artificial reef. It is best handled as an experienced boat dive because depth and overhead space both matter, and local instructors are the normal way in. Expect a classic wreck profile with barracuda, angelfish, lionfish, nurse sharks, and other reef life moving through the structure.
