This dive site, Glovers Island, is a very shallow, predominantly sandy-bottomed area located off the coast of Grenada. With a maximum depth of 7 meters and an average depth of approximately 3 meters, it offers a relaxed diving experience. Navigation is straightforward given the shallow, open sandy expanse, though attention to the bottom is crucial. No specific history or story is provided for this site.
The site is particularly noted as an excellent area for spotting larger bottom-dwelling creatures such as Eagle Rays and Stingrays. Divers with a keen eye may also be rewarded with sightings of the elusive Trunkfish and one or two well-camouflaged Scorpionfish. The predominantly sandy environment implies limited hard coral formations, but smaller invertebrates and potential sea grass beds would be present, supporting the ray population.
The best time to visit Glovers Island would likely align with Grenada's dry season, typically from January to May, offering calmer conditions and optimal visibility. Divers must exercise very good buoyancy control, especially during certain times of the year when the sandy bottom can be extensively covered in long-spined urchins, making careful navigation essential to avoid painful encounters. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find this site highly suitable due to its shallow depths and abundant marine life.
