Sharkies Hideaway Part 1

Sharkies Hideaway Part 1 is the drift dive we always recommend when someone asks about Carriacou. You start over volcanic cliffs, a dramatic entry point before the reef picks up. We love the way the current just carries you along, no finning needed, past these really interesting rock formations studded with corals. The maximum depth is a comfortable 17 meters, perfect for soaking it all in. The real showstopper is the "Fish Bowl," a rocky amphitheatre at the end of the dive. This place genuinely lives up to its name; we’ve seen schools of snapper and grunt so thick they almost obscure the light. And yes, the nurse sharks are usually there, tucked under the overhangs, sometimes two or three of them. Keep an eye on the surface, especially where the waves break, as schools of herring and fusiliers often put on a real display there. It's a dive that rewards a relaxed approach, letting the water do the work and just watching the theatre unfold.
