    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Red Bouy site is one of our favourite easy dives in Grenada, offering a relaxed drift along the entrance channel to St. George's harbour. You'll drop in, likely with a gentle push from the current, and find yourself gliding over a sloping reef that tops out around 8m. It’s a riot of colour up there, with sponges and corals absolutely covering the surface. We always spot Coney, those curious little groupers, and often some Greater Soapfish hanging around. The real fun, though, is letting the current carry you down the channel wall. It drops to about 21m max here, and we love keeping an eye out for the old anchors snagged along the edges – a cool bit of history. We’ve seen Barracuda patrolling the deeper sections and plenty of lobsters tucked into crevices. Visibility here averages about 14m, which is decent enough for spotting those quirky old Bakelite telephones that occasionally turn up. It's a great dive for anyone looking for a chill drift with plenty to look at without having to work too hard.
