Lesleen M
Depth is the range from the top of the site to its usual maximum; "recommended cert" is the mainstream-agency level operators usually ask for, not a legal rule. Currents and visibility change daily — treat everything here as planning ranges.
The Lesleen M is the wreck Saint Lucia sank on purpose, a fifty-meter island freighter scuttled by the fisheries department in 1986 to seed an artificial reef off Anse Cochon, and the plan worked. She sits upright in twenty meters, fully colonized: encrusting sponge in ember colors, arrow crabs on the rails, soldierfish in the shaded holds, and a resident cloud of sergeant majors above the mast. Openings are wide and bright enough for trained divers to slip through the cargo spaces, while newer divers can tour everything worthwhile outside the hull inside comfortable no-deco limits.
The moment you come for: Upright beginner-friendly wreck, richly colonized holds, easy depths
Topography: Sand beside a fringing reef at Anse Cochon
Know before you splash
Hazards: Enter the interior only with wreck training; fine silt lifts easily in the holds.
Nitrox: Worth it here — profiles sit in the range where enriched air meaningfully extends no-stop time (with the training to use it).
