Northern Exposure

About this dive site

This dive site, Northern Exposure, is located on the Bass Reef in Grenada, known for its fingers of coral extending from shallow depths (8 meters/25 feet) to slightly deeper areas (17 meters/55 feet). Navigation is relatively straightforward, following the coral formations and exploring the various crevices and holes. The site's history is likely tied to the overall history of the Bass Reef, a popular diving area in Grenada. There is no specific historical event tied to this particular site.

Marine life at Northern Exposure is abundant and varied. Creole wrasse and cowfish are commonly seen, with juvenile drums and cowfish frequenting the shallower crevices, especially earlier in the year. Barracudas and jacks patrol the edges of the reef. A variety of other reef fish and coral species can also be observed.

The best time to visit is likely during the calmer months, avoiding the potential for stronger currents during periods of higher rainfall or storms. Visibility is generally good, though it can be affected by weather conditions. For freedivers, the shallow depths and relatively calm conditions make it an ideal location for exploration. Divers should be aware of the potential for mild currents and should maintain awareness of their depth.
