I ended up going up to a buoy line, where the rope started in the sand, and just followed that line out till it ended. Swimming out with the line to hold on to made that really easy. When I got to the end of the line, I just looked around to where there were a bunch of people, and swam over there. I wouldn't call myself a expert swimmer, but with the life vest and the flippers, I found moving around to be quite easy. When I caught up to the group of people I saw swimming together, I looked down to see some huge fish, and a stingray. I suspect that the fish were there because there were people from the boat feeding them.
From here, I decided to try to find one of the ship wrecks. I swam in a southwestern direction until I saw some bubble from some scuba divers which lead me to the location of the first ship wreck that I saw, the remains of the Ellion. The Ellion was a boat from Columbia, but Bajan officials did a search where they found that the ship walls were lined with dugs, so the Bajan government seized the ship before it was put down in the bay in 1996.
Right next to the Ellion I found the Bajan Queen. Originally a tugboat from the 1960s called "the pelican". But after about 10 years of service this boat was converted to party boat, and was renamed the "Bajan Queen". After many years of loving service as a party boat, the Bajan Queen was taken out of commission, cleaned up, and sunk into Carlisle bay in 2002.
After swimming to see the Bajan Queen, I slowly started to turn towards the shore.
On my way back to shore, I saw this barge. Based on what I could find, this barge was sunk in 2003 and is sitting in a depth of 15 feet under water.
I really enjoyed the snorkeling in Carlisle Bay, and would recommend it if you are a somewhat capable swimmer.
