is known as the Titanic of the Caribbean. She’s a passenger liner which caught fire and sank in sight of the harbor in 1961, and is a large enough and a deep enough wreck that you can’t visit all of her on one dive. She is 600 feet long and sits at 165 feet. Usually, you descend to her main deck inside the swimming pool and proceed either forward or aft. This was our only chance to visit her and our dive master chose to head sternward. The stern areas are actually in worse condition than the bow end and there is a lot of tangled debris all around just aft of the pool. One of the first things you notice are the steps leading out of the pool and to the stern. The pictures below were taken on a trip to Grenada in 2007. At the bottom you will find pictures taken in September of 2018. While seriously decaying, Bianca C is still considered one of the top dives by many. She has deteriorated considerably in the last 11 years but is still reasonably intact enough to make it a to do dive. The bow was in much better shape in 2007 than the stern, however, today the reverse is true. Most of the forward superstructure has now collapsed in on itself and I would seriously recommend choosing the stern areas to dive if you only have time to do one dive
