Grenada

These docile and inquisitive sharks are a constant presence on Grenada's reefs and wrecks, often found resting under ledges or patrolling the deeper sites.

Nurse Sharks

Majestic eagle rays are frequently seen gliding gracefully in small groups along the reef walls and the sandy plains around the Bianca C.

Spotted Eagle Rays

Strictly protected and thriving, these beautiful turtles are seen foraging on almost every reef dive around both Grenada and Carriacou.

Hawksbill Turtles

Grenada's healthy gorgonians and sponges are a haven for seahorses, which are frequently spotted by sharp-eyed guides at sites like Flamingo Bay.

Longsnout Seahorses

Grenada, the 'Island of Spice,' is widely regarded as the wreck diving capital of the Eastern Caribbean, offering a spectacular and diverse underwater world that matches its lush, aromatic landscapes. The island's most famous resident is the Bianca C, a massive 600-foot Italian cruise liner known as the 'Titanic of the Caribbean,' which sits upright in 50 meters of water. Beyond its legendary wrecks, Grenada made history by establishing the world's first Underwater Sculpture Park in Molinere Bay, an enchanting fusion of art and marine conservation that has become a global icon. The island is surrounded by healthy coral reefs, dramatic volcanic walls, and exciting drift-dive sites that are teeming with life. Grenada's unique position at the southern end of the Grenadines ensures nutrient-rich waters that support a staggering abundance of marine life, from tiny seahorses and frogfish to large nurse sharks, eagle rays, and even seasonal whale sharks. The visibility is consistently excellent, often reaching 30 meters or more. Grenada's diving culture is professional, welcoming, and deeply committed to environmental protection, with several marine protected areas ensuring the long-term health of its reefs. Whether you are navigating the cavernous holds of a sunken freighter or admiring the haunting statues of the sculpture park, Grenada provides a comprehensive and world-class underwater experience for divers of all levels.

Currently, there are no dedicated full-time liveaboards based permanently in Grenada. Most diving is conducted as shore-based or day-trip excursions from the island's professional dive resorts and centers. Because the best dive sites, including the world-famous wrecks and the underwater sculpture park, are located within a short boat ride from the shore, land-based operations are the most convenient way to dive Grenada. For those seeking a liveaboard experience in the region, occasionally regional vessels transiting the Grenadines may include Grenada or Carriacou as a highlight on a larger itinerary.

Getting around Grenada is efficient and affordable. A reliable system of privately-owned mini-buses (vans) with designated route numbers connects the capital with almost all major villages and beaches. Taxis are also plentiful and operate on fixed government rates. For those who want more freedom to explore the island's lush interior and remote trailheads, car rentals are widely available, though remember that driving is on the left side of the road. To reach Carriacou, there is a regular ferry service (the Osprey) and short domestic flights (about 20 minutes) from Grenada.
