Bianca C Wreck
Grenada · Caribbean
The Bianca C is a 180m Italian cruise liner that sank off Grenada in 1961 — known as the 'Titanic of the Caribbean,' she sits in 30–50m and is one of the great big wreck dives in the region. Grenada's broader diving includes the underwater sculpture park.

What divers say
Swimming over the Bianca C's bow at 30m as schools of jacks pour past — one of the best wrecks I've dived anywhere.
Good to know
Sculpture park
Worth a separate dive — Jason deCaires Taylor's installation.
