Dive Site List
Most diving occurs in the south, close to Grand Anse Beach, on the leeward side of the island.
How far away are the dive sites?
Over 90% of our Dive Sites are only 10 minutes away with our own custom built dive boat.
How deep are our sites?
Depths of our dive sites vary from 6 metres (20') to 40 metres (130').
How is the Visibility?
Visibility is fairly consistent all year round and we do have the added advantage in Grenada of being influenced by the ‘Orinoco Flow’ from Venezuela.
Difficulty:
Most diving in Grenada is relatively easy, even for the less experienced divers that dive with us. Swell is minimal and as we are on the leeward side of the Island so the Dive Centre and Dive Sites are very sheltered. The Dive Centre owners always check to ensure they know if there is going to be any current and in what direction it will be going, so we can always ensure a pleasurable drift dive for our customers.
Computers:
We use either Alladin (uwatec) or Suunto Dive Computers on every dive and always err on the conservative side for added protection for all our divers.
Equipment:
We have Sherwood regulators and BCs; sufficient equipment for twenty people and 40 or so Aluminium 80s, oh and a Bauer compressor.
Do you have Oxygen:
We are very aware of safety in our diving operation and we carry a 12 litre cylinder of O2 on board with a ‘DAN’ Regulator and mask.
Boat:
We have a 32` Pirogue boat with a full ladder and handrails making egress from the water very easy. The boat was custom built for us with diver comfort and safety our main priority when designing it.
Dive packages:
We have a variety of packages with hotels ranging from the luxurious to budget guest houses or even apartments, enquire.
