Deep Blue, off Carriacou’s Sisters Rocks, is one of those sites that just grabs you. We love a good drift, and this one delivers, pulling you around the twin rocks in a lively current. It’s an advanced dive, for sure; you’ll feel the tug, and the landscape rushes by, but that’s precisely its charm. The visibility generally holds around 20 metres, so you get a good, clear view of the action. We've seen schools of black surgeons so dense they cast shadows, weaving through barracudas that seem to hang suspended, just watching. Keep an eye out for green morays tucked into the rocks and those perfectly camouflaged scorpionfish. The maximum depth is 22 metres, which means you have plenty of bottom time to soak it all in. If you’re comfortable with a bit of pace and love feeling like you’re flying through the water, Deep Blue is a top pick.
