Castle

Castle is a wreck dive off Saint Michael, Barbados, on the island's Caribbean coast. It sits at a maximum depth of around 15.8 metres, rated a beginner dive, with visibility described as great and a wreck bottom. Seahorses are a reliable find here, and divers have also reported Atlantic sergeant majors, batfish, Caribbean bluehead wrasse, flying gurnard, frogfish, grouper, octopus, Sally lightfoot crabs, sea turtles, slippery dick, Western Atlantic trumpetfish, yellow goatfish, and even the occasional whale sighting nearby. Boat traffic has been noted as a hazard in the area, so it is worth keeping an eye on surface activity when surfacing or between dives.
