Scuba Diving in Sint Maarten / Saint Martin with Ocean Explorers Dive Center ( Explorer's Week Log - Week 01, 2017 )
Dive Site - Carib Cargo Carib Cargo got his name in 1986, the original name was San francisco "some say is bad luck to change a ship's name". Carib Cargo is a roll-on roll-off ship and got badly damage in one of the worst hurricane that hit St. Maarten… Hurricane Luis in 1995, the ship continue floating and was anchor in Great Bay for severals months until the approach of Hurricane Bertha in 1996, before the approach of Bertha a commercial diving company was hired "Get rid of it" and secretly they did…. It took us "Dive Shops" more than a year to find the ghost ship. Until now many dive shops call the wreck "Carib Ghost", the ship sunk on a sand plateau were many southern stingrays can be seeing especially in summer time, there are some wreckage's and reef balls around the wreck atracting some additional life…. As many years have passed from the time the ship went down, Carib Cargo is now one of the best wreck dives in St. Maarten and for sure is the wreck with the most marine life diversity. During a dive is common to see various schools of fish, southern stingray, eagle rays, barracudas, lobster, green turtles, morays, sharks and occasionally dolphins. Many of those can be see in one dive. For the Adventure Dives this is a great site … many of the specialty of the Advanced course or Specialty course can be conducted here … .like Nitrox to extend your no deco time … The wreck specialty for you to visit the IN and OUT of the wreck … Photography, bring you wide angle …. Fish Identification, you will be amaze by the diversity of marine life " From big to small, Carib Cargo has it all " :)
