The freighter named Hema 1, was registered in Kingston, St. Vincent and its owner just had refurbished it with a new engine.
Our Grenada scubadiving resources are Divernet andDivesiteDirectory, Grenada scubadiving dive operatorsDiveGrenada,Aquanauts and the other members of theGrenada Scubadiving Association.
On the first dive Aquanauts did one week after it sank, already reef and nurse sharks were investigating the new wreck as possible resting place. Like the Shakem which sank in 2001, it will be an interesting example to see how quickly marine life takes over and makes it a new artificial reef. Aquanauts will report and document the growth development on the new wreck regularly. But already it is clear that the wreck of Hema 1 will be one of the main attractions in Grenada's waters due to its location in the nutrient rich Atlantic current off the south coast where other wrecks like San Juan and King Mitch have an impossible to resist draw on experienced adventure seeking divers!

In the early morning hours of March 5th 2005 a freighter who had offloaded its cargo in Grenada, was on its way back to Trinidad empty. Seas were rough and the freighter started to take on water. Unfortunately the bilge pump did not work as it supposed to.
