About this dive site

This dive site, known as Boulder City, is Grenada's quintessential 'muck' dive, offering an unparalleled experience for those seeking fascinating small marine life. The underwater landscape features large star boulders scattered across a gentle slope, transitioning into a sandy bottom interspersed with intriguing reef holes. Navigation is typically slow and deliberate, encouraging divers to meticulously search the substrate and rocky crevices for hidden treasures, rather than covering large distances.

Boulder City is renowned for its incredible biodiversity of macro creatures. Divers can expect to encounter an impressive array of animals, including various species of Frogfish, Lined, Dwarf, and Longsnout Seahorses, an assortment of Shrimps, diverse eels, crabs, and lobsters. This site truly lives up to its reputation as a place where almost any small critter found in Grenada can be discovered.

While no specific best time to visit is provided, muck diving conditions are generally favorable year-round in Grenada, offering consistent opportunities for critter spotting. Divers should bring their macro lenses and a keen eye to fully appreciate the site's unique inhabitants. Its shallow depths make it ideal for extended bottom times and also highly suitable for freedivers keen on a slow, observant dive.
