This is our new article series focusing on Carriacou’s amazing dive sites.
I remember the first time I dove here, it was for a lionfish hunt with my buddy Mark, and we thought the place was quite pretty, but looking quite dead to be honest. Well, that was September 2019, and I’ve been here 3 times since then, and I must say that I’m liking it more and more each time.
Located at the edge of Tyrell Bay, Seaview is a wonderful site for those divers who love to look for all the little creatures and take their time in exploring the coral reef: simple navigation, gentle conditions and a maximum depth of 12m / 40 ft, make this dive a favourite for macro life spotters and underwater photographers.
Frigate Island, one of the eastern-most cays is one of our favourite locations for more challenging dives as it sits close to the “drop off” and the strong Atlantic currents. Shark Canyon is probably the most challenging of challenging sites, and one we get the opportunity to dive very rarely.
Gary writes about his favourite dive at Layer Cake, down among the small cays to the South of Carriacou. This one is an exciting fast drift dive, for experienced divers only – the kind of dive that puts a big grin on your face!
Affectionately referred to as ‘Le Jettoi’ by our team (thanks, Gary!), the Hillsborough Jetty is a magical place for divers. Easily accessed by a short swim from the beach outside the dive shop and filled with oodles of fish and wonderful creatures, Le Jettoi is a favourite for all of us.
Tropical Hill is one of our staff’s favourite dives. Think of the classic image of a mountain – big peak, little peak? – now imagine it underwater, covered with wonderful marine life! Excellent visibility and a beautiful backdrop make this site a favourite for photographers.
