Tropical Hill is one of those Carriacou spots we just keep coming back to. It’s a big rock pinnacle, close to shore, topping out around 17m. What really hits you when you drop in is the sheer number of fish. We're talking thick schools of sergeant majors and fusiliers swirling around the reef, sometimes so dense they really do block the sun for a second. It’s got that relaxed, classic Caribbean feel, with plenty of little nooks and crannies to poke around in. Keep an eye out for the morays, particularly the mottled congers, often peeking out from under ledges. We’ve seen quite a few juvenile lobsters here too, tucked away. The top of the pinnacle, especially during your safety stop, is where the real show happens – sergeant majors everywhere you look, shimmering in the sunlight. It’s a genuinely joyful end to a dive. Visibility here is usually good, often around 18m, making it a great, easy dive for anyone who loves just being surrounded by fish.
