With an average depth of 7 meters and a maximum of 15 meters, it's easily navigable over its mostly sandy bottom interspersed with vibrant coral formations. While no specific history or story is provided, it serves as a popular and accessible site for divers exploring Grenada's diverse underwater world.

Magazine Reef boasts an abundance of soft corals, sea plumes, and rope sponges, creating a rich habitat. Attendant reef fish are common, along with the notable presence of Pederson cleaner shrimps and numerous Yellowline arrow crabs, offering excellent opportunities for macro observation.
