This dive site, known as The Bullet, is a challenging and exhilarating destination located off Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It is exclusively for expert divers due to its unpredictable and strong currents, often described as a 'wild ride'. Dived only via private charter, it is a two-tank dive necessitated by its remote distance. The site is rarely accessible, requiring perfect conditions with low winds and calm seas, indicating a strong dependency on weather for dive planning. While maximum depths can reach 28 meters, the average dive depth is noted as shallower, suggesting that the primary challenge and attraction are the dynamic currents rather than significant depth.
The Bullet is particularly renowned for its pelagic encounters. Divers can expect to see large marine life such as sharks and various species of rays cruising through the currents. While the description doesn't explicitly mention specific coral types or smaller reef fish, the healthy ecosystem supporting large predators suggests a rich marine environment, likely featuring a variety of reef fish and corals typical of the Caribbean.
The best time to visit The Bullet is whenever conditions are 'perfect' – meaning low winds and calm seas, which are infrequent. Divers must be highly experienced, comfortable with strong and unpredictable currents, and possess advanced drift diving skills. Due to its challenging nature and remoteness, this site is not suitable for snorkeling or freediving; it requires dedicated scuba equipment and preparation for a truly advanced and exhilarating experience.
