Purunia Wreck (Mayreau)
12° 38.4′ N · 61° 24.1′ W · approximate
The 140 ft British gunship Puruni, sunk in 1918 just off Mayreau's west coast, lies in about 40 ft and is a good wreck dive for beginners and advanced divers alike.
Practical
Coordinate is derived: the charted wreck (8 m) off Saline Bay in OpenStreetMap's seamark data, which matches the park's description of the site off Mayreau's west coast; the identification is not confirmed. Scuba diving anywhere in the park must be with a registered local dive operator (e.g. Grenadines Dive, Clifton). Ferry traffic uses the Saline Bay approach.
