The Bianca C was a 180-metre Italian luxury cruise liner that caught fire and sank in St. George's Harbour on October 22, 1961. An explosion in the engine room started the fire while the ship was anchored. Remarkably, all but one of the approximately 700 passengers and crew were rescued by local Grenadians, earning the island the nickname 'Island of Spice and Gratitude.'

The Bianca C rests on her side at depths ranging from approximately 30 metres at the shallowest point to over 50 metres at the deepest sections. This depth range means it is strictly for advanced divers, ideally those with deep diving specialty training. Bottom time is limited, and most operators limit the dive to 20-25 minutes at depth.

The Bianca C is a serious deep dive that demands respect. The depth, potential for currents, and limited bottom time require advanced training and experience. A surface marker buoy and proper gas planning are essential. That said, experienced operators in Grenada have been running this dive safely for decades with proper protocols and briefings.

The Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park is the world's first underwater sculpture gallery, created by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor in 2006. Located in Moliniere Bay on Grenada's west coast, it features over 75 life-size sculptures made from pH-neutral cement designed to encourage coral growth and marine colonisation. It is both an art installation and an artificial reef.

No, the sculptures are set in very shallow water of 2-8 metres, making them easily accessible to snorkelers. In fact, many visitors experience the sculpture park as a snorkelling trip rather than a dive. Glass-bottom boat tours are also available for those who prefer to stay dry. Scuba diving provides more time and closer inspection.
