The images below capture the final moments of our underwater odyssey through the haunting remains of the MV Shakem. This former cargo vessel was once a regular sight as it transported cement between Grenada and Trinidad. It met its fateful end, possibly due to being overloaded. Surrounded by myths of its heavily burdened hull, the Shakem ultimately surrendered to the depths of the sea.

Our Dive Master making sure everyone diving around the wreck remained safe.

Removing the safety line at the end of dive.

Waiting for divers to clear their safety stop at 15 feet.

I’m also waiting, but while I do, I’ll take the opportunity to capture a few photographs.
