About this dive site

This dive site, Shark Reef, is a 3-mile long strip of shallow reef in Grenada, offering a diverse range of marine life in a relatively calm environment. The reef's depth ranges from 10 to 17 meters (30-50 feet), making navigation straightforward. It's characterized by numerous nooks and crannies, perfect for exploring and discovering hidden creatures. The reef's relatively shallow nature makes it suitable for both beginners and experienced divers.

Shark Reef is teeming with life, including the namesake nurse sharks (both adults and juveniles), along with lobsters, king crabs, and a vast array of colorful fish species. The reef itself supports a variety of corals and sponges, adding to the overall visual appeal of the dive site. Expect to see a vibrant and rich ecosystem thriving in this protected area.

The best time to visit Shark Reef is during the calmer months, typically from late spring to early fall (May-November). Visibility is generally good during this period. For freedivers, the shallow depth and abundance of marine life make it an ideal location for breath-hold exploration. Divers should be aware of potential currents and always check weather conditions before embarking on a dive.
