Always on the lookout for fun and active “things to do” while on our Caribbean vacations, I've always wanted to snorkel over a shipwreck. Well, in Barbados' Carlisle Bay, about a mile (2km) south of Bridgetown, there's a wreck not more than 15 feet below the surface - Perfect for Snorkelers!
Snorkeling over the shipwreck was incredible – It absolutely blew me away as I’ve never seen so many fish congregating in one area like that. The top of the ship is clearly visible from the surface. The top and sides of the wreck were covered in corals, sponges and sea fans, however I was really fascinated by the large variety of tropical fish. I viewed the ship from stern to bow and back again – I just couldn’t get enough. Along with schools of sergeant-majors, the trumpetfish, blue-tang and angelfish really stood out to me. I watched as a snorkeler dived down to the surface of the ship and even into one of the openings – Hhmnn… I’ll need to try that next time! This may be as close to a scuba diving experience as I’ll ever get.
