    Dr. Grooms Garden is exactly what its name implies: a meticulously kept patch reef, and one of our absolute favourite macro sites in Grenada. We love how shallow it is, maxing out around 17 metres, which means plenty of bottom time to really scrutinise every nook and cranny. The reef is a colourful tapestry of soft corals, often swaying gently in the mild current, making for a relaxing drift. Don't come here expecting big pelagics; this site is all about the tiny stuff. We’ve spent whole dives just a few metres from our entry point, finding Spinyhead Blennies peeking out of holes, or the shy Masked Goby trying to disappear against the coral. Keep an eye out for the unusual Butterbun nudibranchs slowly traversing the reef. On a good day, you might even spot a tiny seahorse clinging to a gorgonian. The visibility generally holds around 16 metres, which is perfectly adequate for this kind of intimate exploration. It’s the perfect spot for photographers or anyone who enjoys slowing down and discovering the smaller wonders of the reef.
