Black Rocks, Carriacou

Black Rocks on Carriacou is a proper rush, no doubt. The site itself is this dramatic cluster of volcanic rock, thrusting up from the seabed and breaking the surface. It just looks wild, exactly what you want from a Caribbean dive. We’ve found the currents here can really rip, so it’s not one for the timid or brand new divers. We usually drop in and let the water push us along, gliding past the dark rock formations. That current, though, that’s what brings in the action. We've seen big schools of jacks and herring, just holding their position against the flow. Our favourite encounters have been with the resident sharks – nurse sharks tucked into crevices, blacktips cruising the edges, and the occasional Caribbean reef shark patrolling a bit deeper. Keep an eye out for triggerfish, they’re usually around in good numbers too. The coral cover isn't the main event here, it's more about the raw geology and the bigger fish drawn to the currents. For divers who enjoy a drift and the possibility of some serious pelagic encounters, Black Rocks delivers.
