This dive site, Cherry Hill, offers a versatile underwater experience starting in shallow waters of 2 meters and gradually sloping to a maximum depth of 10 meters. It's renowned for its accessible navigation and serves as a fantastic introduction to Grenada's vibrant marine ecosystems, suitable for divers and snorkelers alike.
The site is a rich tapestry of marine life. The shallows are dominated by extensive Porites corals and thriving regrowing Elkhorn corals, providing shelter for numerous reef fish. As the depth increases, divers can observe various hard corals and graceful seaplumes swaying in the gentle currents. The biodiversity extends to fascinating small creatures like nudibranchs and larger pelagic visitors such as stingrays and barracudas, offering a comprehensive view of Caribbean marine fauna.
Cherry Hill can be enjoyed year-round, with the dry season (January to May) often providing the calmest seas and best visibility. This site is particularly excellent for macro photography due to its abundance of small creatures. For freedivers, the gradual depth profile and extensive shallow coral gardens make it an ideal location to practice and explore without the need for scuba gear.
