Grenada shipwreck sharks Feb, 15 2017
Diving with Devotion 2 Ocean on the Hema1 encountered some sharks very interested with my Gopro . Built in 1963, the Hema 1 is a 170 feet / 50m freighter which was on its way back from Grenada to Trinidad. In rough seas the ship started to take on water and sank.
Tuesday's Dive 24 06 14 - Grenada- Veronica 'L'
First dive in Grenada on the wreck of the Veronica 'L' with Devotion 2 Ocean. The following description is from their site.
The Veronica 'L' is a cargo vessel which was formerly located outside the town of St. Georges. She sunk on her mooring and was dived upon here for a few years. Upon announcement of the building of the new cruise ship terminal in 2002, it was decided that the Veronica 'L' should be moved rather than break the vessel. A dive team moved her from her original location to her new ground where she has already become encrusted in soft sponges of orange, pink and green. Black Brotula are often found here especially on night dives!
Tuesday's Dive - Grenada- Bianca C and Shark Reef
We meet an iguana, a hummingbird and save a dozen turtles before diving the Bianca C and Shark Reef, with Frank from Devotion 2 Ocean.
The following description is from their site.
The Bianca C is the largest wreck in the Caribbean and known by many as the Titanic of the Caribbean. She is 600 ft long and 18,427 tonnes. She was built in the south of France in 1939 and launched in June 1944 as 'Marechal Petain'. Later that year she was sank by the German's during their retreat from France. She was raised and towed back to the South in 1946 when she was renamed 'La Marseillaise' after being refitted as a cruise ship. Her maiden voyage was from Marseilles to Yokohama and had a capacity of 736 passengers. She was then sold to Arosa Line Inc of Panama in 1957 and renamed 'Arosa Sky'. Her capacity was increased to 1,232 passengers and her maiden voyage was from Bremerhaven to New York. Then in 1959 she was sold to G. Costa du Genoa and refurbished once again and renamed 'Bianca C' after his daughter. Her maiden voyage was from Naples to Guaira in Venezuela, her voyage included stops in the Caribbean with Grenada being her last stop on the return leg. Bianca 'C' left Italy on her final voyage in October 1961, ten days later, anchored off St. Georges she caught fire following an explosion in the boiler room, the fire spread fast through the rear of the ship. The fire could not be contained due to the lack of marine fire fighting equipment available and the sheer magnitude of the blaze. Crew and local fishing boats help to save 672 out of the 673 passengers. 12 badly injured crew were taken to hospital where one crew member called Rodizza Napale died from injuries he suffered trying to save passengers on the ship. A British frigate 'Londonderry' arrived from Puerto Rico to help after it heard about the distressed cruise ship. With the ship still burning, they severed the anchor chains and towed the ship with the intention of beaching her on the southern tip off Grenada. But due to damaged rudders and the heat from the fire, the towlines broke and she sank to her present location where she rests today.
Due to her position, pelagic marine life is abundant, with schooling Atlantic spadefish, Barracuda, Jacks and Mackerel commonly seen along with Nurse and Reef sharks and Spotted Eagle Rays. This is truly a memorable dive and not one to be missed. Due to the depth, this dive is for experienced and Advanced divers only.
Tuesday's Dive -28 06 14 Grenada- Hema1
We dive the Hema 1 with Frank and Tomroy from Devotion 2 Ocean.
The following descriptions are from their website.
HEMA 1
Hema 1 is a freighter located 3 miles off the south coast of Grenada.
She sank on March 5th 2005 on her way back to Trinidad from Grenada having offloaded its cargo in St. Georges harbour. This German built vessell was an iner-island freighter registered origionally in Kingstown, St. Vincent. Hema 1 is 50m/170ft long and she lies in 30m/100ft of water. She started taking on water in high seas on the Atlantic side of the Island, Hema 1 tried to turn around but the efforts were thwarted and she was abandoned. Here, the Grenada coast guard stepped in to rescue the crew members. Hema 1 joins The King as another of Grenada's must see attractions for wreck thirsty divers!
KOHANEE -
Kahonee is typically a shallower site with plenty of marine life from Christmas tree worms, to turtles! Brilliant sponges are abundant on this reef; undulating coral that slopes
Tuesday's Dive 25 06 14- Grenada- Shakem & Purple Rain
In this second day of diving Grenada we dove these 2 sites with Frank (aka Ocean) from Devotion 2 Ocean. The following descriptions are from their site.
SHAKEM
May 2001 after a troubled journey from Trinidad. This 55m/180ft long German cargo vessel was carrying cement between Trinidad and Grenada, the cargo shifted, overbalancing the vessel a mile off St. George's harbour, where she sank in 30m/100ft of water. She now lays bolt upright on her keel and is still very well intact and full of life. Swim-through's into the hallways, crew quarters, crane control room, and galleys makes this a favorite amongst our wreck lovers. Barracuda patrol her and black coral grows all over, with a beautiful pair of French Angel fish and an occasional shark lying underneath the ship.
PURPLE RAIN
This dive site was given its name because of the abundance of purple Creole wrasse that school overhead darting simultaneously in a synchronized pattern giving an effect of a purple rain.

Diving in Grenada 2015 - HEMA1
Fantastic dive at HEMA1 in Grenada with Frank from Devotion2Ocean.
We had sightings of nurse and black tip reef sharks, eagle and sting rays. Hema 1 is one of the best hidden secrets of the Spice Island.
Here is a link to the HEMA1 dive site:
Grenada Missions Trip Video
In July 2013, 28 members of Teays Valley Baptist went to the island of Grenada to help Pastor Jeremy Scott of Victory Baptist Temple. Two Bible clubs and two crusades were held to strengthen Victory Baptist, and establish a church plant in a new town. The Lord blessed the team to see 323 souls trust Christ as their Saviour. To God be the Glory!

The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano | Audiobook with Subtitles
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, written in 1789, is the autobiography of Olaudah Equiano. It discusses his time spent in slavery, serving primarily on galleys, documents his attempts at becoming an independent man through his study of the Bible, and his eventual success in gaining his own freedom and in business thereafter.
The book contains an interesting discussion of slavery in West Africa and illustrates how the experience differs from the dehumanising slavery of the Americas. The Intereresting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano is also one of the first widely read slave narratives. It was generally reviewed favorably. (Wikipedia)
This work was produced to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain.

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
