MV Maverick

The MV Maverick Wreck is one of the most famous wrecks found in the Caribbean and is among the best dive sites in Trinidad and Tobago. With a maximum depth of 30m, this is a dive for more advanced divers. This 107m long car and passenger ferry would often make journeys between the two small islands until 1997 when it was intentionally sunk off Rocky Point. This giant ship sits totally upright and is perfectly intact, with a rich growth of corals, and is home to abundant marine life including Turtles, Eagle Rays, Cobia, and Barracuda. This wreck is safe and easy to penetrate, providing access to as far as the engine rooms.

The top of the MV Maverick Wreck is 60 ft where divers start to descend down a line that is attached to the bow. Usually passing through a school of baitfish with Bonito fish darting in and out. It is not unusual to meet large Cobia on this wreck. Because of the depth, the dive usually lasts 30-35 minutes and it is possible to penetrate the ship even as far as the engine rooms. Reef-building crabs, sennet fish, and clams add to this interesting dive site. If you’re based on one of these islands, make sure you do not miss this dive site.
