This dive site is known as Sharkies Hideaway Part 1, a dynamic point-to-point drift dive located along exciting volcanic cliffs and vibrant coral reefs. Divers navigate through stunning underwater landscapes, culminating in a natural rocky amphitheatre known as the "Fish Bowl," famed for its congregating schools of fish. The site earns its name from the nurse sharks frequently found sheltering under coral overhangs.
The marine life here is abundant, with a highlight being the resident nurse sharks often discovered tucked away in various coral overhangs. Large schools of diverse fish species provide a spectacular "fish fest," especially visible towards the surface where waves break. The "great reefs" also indicate a healthy ecosystem supporting various reef fish and invertebrates, alongside a rich display of corals.
The best time to visit Grenada for diving is typically during the dry season, from January to May, offering calmer seas and excellent visibility. Divers should be prepared for a drift dive, making it suitable for those comfortable with moderate currents. Highlights include observing nurse sharks in their natural habitat, exploring the dramatic volcanic topography, and experiencing the lively fish aggregations in the Fish Bowl. Freedivers will also find the average depth of 8 meters and the vibrant shallow areas particularly appealing.
