Fearless Wreck

Wreck of the Fearless is probably the least popular of the BVI's wreck dives. Although located adjacent to a coral reef on a sandy bottom, little marine life flourishes. Visibility is usually low because of the slightly silty composition of the bottom. The site is also a rough anchorage in exposed position in the Sir Francis Drake Channel. The wreck is wooden, and after over 20 years underwater is now extremely fragile and close to collapse. Any form of penetration of the superstructure is extremely unwise. By boat only. Site is located about half a mile north of Great Harbour, Peter Island. Can be difficult to locate in high seas. Approximately 15 minutes by boat from Road Town, Tortola. Mooring balls have been placed on the site by the National Parks trust. Fearless Wreck is also known as Wreck of the Fearless.
