Why dive here
With 82+ marine species recorded in the area - including orcas, sea turtles, whale sharks, frogfish and lionfish - Antilla (Wreck) offers some of Aruba Leeward Coast's richest reef diving. Water sits around 28°C.
Cherry Hill on Grenada’s Southwest Coast is one of those sites we always suggest for a relaxed, shallow dive. It’s not about huge pelagics here; it's about the small stuff, and the light, and just being in the water. We love starting in the super shallow two meters, poking around the Porites corals. You’ll see juvenile fish darting everywhere, and if you take your time, there are often little Chestnut Mussels tucked into crevices. The reef gently slopes to about 10 meters, and that’s where we find the most interesting things. Look for the Dusky Cusk and the Naked Blenny – they're masters of camouflage, so a good eye helps. Our favourite find here is the White Pygmy Venus; it’s tiny, often clinging to the soft corals, a real treat if you spot one. Visibility averages 15 meters, which is plenty for this kind of macro exploration. Cherry Hill suits divers who enjoy a slow pace, photographers looking for interesting small subjects, and anyone who wants to unwind with a truly unhurried dive.
