About this dive site

This dive site, Black Rocks, is located at the southernmost point of Carriacou, notable for its rugged arrangement of volcanic rocks that rise from the seabed to just above the surface. Its remote location, far from any habitation, contributes to its pristine and wild nature. Divers navigate through and around these unique rock formations, which are frequently buffeted by strong currents.

The site is renowned for its abundant marine life, particularly larger pelagic species. Divers can expect to encounter large collections of triggerfish and barracuda. It is also a prime location for shark sightings, with nurse, blacktip, and Caribbean reef sharks regularly observed patrolling the area.

Due to the very strong currents, this site is best suited for experienced and advanced divers. While no specific best time to visit is provided, the rich marine life makes it an appealing destination year-round for those seeking a thrilling big animal encounter. Freediving and snorkeling are not recommended due to the challenging current conditions.
