Why dive here
With 292+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, humpback whales, nurse sharks and orcas - Barracuda Point, Carriacou offers some of Carriacou's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Barracuda Point, just a short hop from Sisters Rocks, is a site we’ve always enjoyed for its sheer comfort. You’re only 18 meters down, and typically, it’s a gentle drift. We love to just float along, letting the current do the work. The corals here, both hard and soft, are a busy tapestry. Look out into the blue, and you might spot a cruising jack or a round scad. Closer to the reef, we often find a few saddled blennies peeking out, or a curious hamlet hovering near a sponge. For us, the highlight is often spotting one of the sand stargazers, barely visible, just their eyes poking out of the sand. It’s a great dive for anyone looking for a relaxed exploration with consistent reef fish activity.
