This dive site, Seaview, located off Carriacou, Grenada, is renowned as a very gentle and accessible location ideal for novice divers. Its shallow depths and calm conditions make it easy to navigate, typically involving a relaxed exploration of the coral patches and sandy areas where marine life congregates. While there's no specific historical event tied to the site, its popularity stems from its consistent offering of diverse marine encounters in a stress-free environment.
Seaview is particularly rich in macro life and offers incredible opportunities to observe numerous species. Divers can expect to encounter large schools of sergeant majors, a remarkable variety of eels, including many moray eels, and frequent sightings of octopus, sometimes up to five in a single dive. The site is also known for more elusive creatures such as frogfish and seahorses, which have been spotted repeatedly. Other residents include scorpionfish, stingrays, and occasional turtles.
The best time to visit Seaview is generally during Grenada's dry season (December to May) when weather conditions are most stable, offering optimal visibility and calm seas. Its gentle nature makes it a perfect site for refresher dives, underwater photography focusing on macro subjects, and introducing new divers to the underwater world. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find the shallow, vibrant reefs highly rewarding, with ample opportunities to observe marine life at comfortable depths.
