Dive sites in Grenada

Located within Grenada's Moliniere Beauséjour Marine Protected Area on the sheltered western coastline, Dragon Bay presents a gentle sloping reef with scattered sand patches and coral fingers. Hard coral formations mingle with large sea fans, rope sponges, and deep crevices that shelter cryptic marine life. Protected from heavy Atlantic swells, the calm conditions make it a prime location for extended bottom times and relaxed drift or macro photography dives.

Situated inside the Molinere Beausejour Marine Protected Area along Grenada's sheltered western coast, Flamingo Bay features a vibrant reef slope that rolls gently down into a sandy plain. Large gorgonians, sea whips, and massive brain corals carpet the terrain, providing shelter for diverse macro critters and reef dwellers.

Happy Valley lies along the sheltered western coastline of Grenada, featuring a gently sloping reef wall covered in soft corals and large sponges. Divers drift over coral terraces adorned with sea whips, deep-water gorgonians, and brain corals while tracking passing pelagics.

Named after the clouds of Creole wrasse that stream across its contours, Purple Rain is an energetic reef dive situated off the southern coast of Grenada. The terrain consists of a hard coral and sponge slope anchored by massive barrel sponges and waving purple sea fans. Divers gently drift along the current while schools of reef fish feed in open water.

Located off the southwestern tip of Grenada where the Caribbean Sea converges with the Atlantic Ocean, Shake'm is an exposed offshore reef known for its swirling currents and rolling surface swells. The submerged seamount rises from deeper sandbanks, attracting large pelagics and dense schools of reef fish that feed in the nutrient-rich flow.

Located off the southern coast of Grenada where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea, Shark Reef consists of a hard coral shelf punctuated by ledges, overhangs, and sandy channels. Atlantic swell and tidal flow frequently generate steady drift conditions over the reef top. Divers routinely encounter sleeping nurse sharks tucked into undercut coral heads, while pelagic species cruise the open water above.

Located off the west coast of Carriacou, this site covers the deeper offshore flank of two dramatic volcanic pinnacles breaking the surface. Plunging rocky walls and large submerged boulders give way to sandy slopes and deep coral formations exposed to open-water currents. Divers drift along the rocky drop-offs where pelagic predators converge to hunt schooling baitfish.

Created in Molinere Bay by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor, this artificial reef installation integrates contemporary art with marine conservation. Life-sized concrete figures, including the circular ring of children holding hands in 'Vicissitudes', now support encrusting corals, sponges, and marine life on a shallow sandy bottom protected from heavy open-ocean swells.

Sunk as an artificial reef off the southwest coast of Grenada, the Veronica L rests upright on a flat sandy seabed surrounded by patch coral. Originally a cargo vessel, the barge was relocated from St. George's harbour to enhance marine habitat. Its open holds, crane structure, and wheelhouse are heavily colonized by encrusting sponges and soft corals, providing sheltered quarters for juvenile fish and nocturnal macro critters.
