This dive site, Lime Kiln, is located just around the corner from Tyrrel Bay on the left side, on the island of Carriacou in Grenada. It is known as a pleasant shallow drift dive, often navigated by letting the current carry divers along the patch reef and rocky formations. While primarily a gentle experience, divers should be prepared for currents that can occasionally intensify. There is no specific historical information provided for this site.
The diverse marine ecosystem at Lime Kiln offers encounters with a variety of fascinating creatures. Divers frequently spot octopus, lobsters, and eels skillfully hiding amongst the rocky crevices. Rays are also a common sight, gracefully gliding through the water or camouflaged within the small sandy patches where they often feed, alongside various reef fish.
The best time to visit Carriacou, and subsequently Lime Kiln, is generally during the dry season from December to May, offering calmer seas and excellent visibility. This shallow site is ideal for both beginner divers seeking a gentle introduction to drift diving and experienced divers looking for abundant marine life. Its accessible depth and varied inhabitants also make it very suitable for snorkelers and freedivers, who can enjoy observing the active reef life from the surface or with breath-hold descents.
