Last 10 Diver reviews for Scarlet Ibis (M V Maverick):
Easy dive, although current and visibility can be variable. Good cover of soft coral now. Easy and safe access to various decks, and if you are few in number and have reasonable buoyancy control the engine compartment is worth a visit. 30m deep, so watch deco time.

Nice easy Wreck dive, easy and large penetration area for calm divers. Advanced wreck skills not really needed. Good fun to dive. Adverture Eco-Divers highly recommended.

Dived with Frontier Divers, best dive operation in Tobago!! The viz was good and there was an adequate amount of life.

Marker buoy gone, so difficult to find the wreck. However, quite a good dive

This was a great wreck dive. We did our dives with Wild Turtle Dive - the first one was a slow deep dive to the bottom and keel...the nest dive was to the deck level only and we leisurely swam around it. Do on calm days and expect to see lots of encrustation and possible penetration.

Dived this wreck several times... Vis comes and goes, but always a good amount of fish life and an easy wreck for anyone penetrate.

Saw very little as the swell made vis nil. Very easy to pentrate though and there is a decent amount of fish life.
