Jack Iron Point, Carriacou

Jack Iron Point is one of those Carriacou spots we just keep coming back to. Forget deep walls or roaring currents; this is a place for slowing down, for really looking. We usually start over the big sand patch, maybe spotting a resting nurse shark, before easing into the reef and rock formations. It’s shallow, never more than 13 metres, which means the light always feels bright and vibrant. What we love here is the sheer density of small stuff. Every crevice seems to hold a black moray eel peeking out, or a pair of flamefish darting through the coral branches. Our favourite game is spotting the clown wrasse, they’re everywhere. And if you’re into macro, this is your happy place. We’ve found everything from tiny blackberry drupes clinging to the rocks to iridescent Molly Millers zipping between the coral heads. Keep an eye out for octopus tucked away, and the occasional turtle gliding by. It’s an easy, relaxed dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who just wants to unwind and observe the smaller wonders of the reef.
