    Anyone up for a good wreck dive? Silly question right? This 450’, 6,341 Ton, Grain Freighter, sits on the ocean bottom at about 110 feet and is sure to impress! As you start to descend, you will start to realize just how big 6,341 tons can be. With the bow being scrunchedup from point of impact, you will be taken aback by the sheer number of fish swimming around in the Grainton’s once-intact bowels. Make your way back to the expansive midsection cutouts and see what is has to offer. The numerous swim-throughs allow you to explore the spacious compartments and you can feel the ship’s solitude. Or experience the sea life, such as a giant sea turtle swimming about or a barracuda whipping around chasing after its next meal or the collapsed bulk heads providing shelter for all sorts of local critters.  You are sure to be overwhelmed with the wonders of the sea that you are taking in. When you start to explore the scattered stern section, be on the lookout as we are never sure what will be hanging around! With the Grainton being  an example of a thriving eco-system in its prime, all 450’ can better be known as a wreck lover’s dream…….
