Seaview is an absolute favourite of ours when we're in Carriacou, especially if we're feeling like a really relaxed dive. At just 11 metres, it's a calm, shallow site, perfect for newer divers, but honestly, we find ourselves lingering there sometimes just for the sheer density of life. The average 17-metre visibility means you can often see from one end of the site to the other, a nice change of pace. The "seaview" itself is a sprawling, sandy patch with isolated coral heads, a real magnet for macro critters. We've seen so many Chain Morays here, their speckled heads peeking out from every crevice. Keep an eye out for Dark-spotted Snake Eels poking out of the sand, too – they're surprisingly common. We’ve had dives where we spotted five octopus, a couple of scorpionfish, and even a turtle or a frogfish. It's a goldmine for little things, and the big schools of Sergeant Majors create these shimmering walls of fish. We love Seaview for an easy, unhurried dive, where the real reward is taking the time to slowly explore every nook and cranny.
