    South End is where we go when we just want to cruise and see what’s hanging around. It’s Grenada’s southernmost reef, and while it starts shallow, around 10 meters, it slopes down to a manageable 19 meters, so it’s great for longer bottom times. We love the sandy patches and small coral heads along the slope; they’re perfect for spotting things like Lizardfish camouflaged against the sand, and we’ve often seen little Blennies popping out of holes. There’s a fair chance of seeing nurse sharks tucked under ledges, and we’ve certainly had our share of stingray encounters here, too. The top of the reef is a mix of sea fans swaying gently and colourful sponges, giving way to more robust hard corals as you descend. Visibility averages around 13 meters, which is usually enough for a good view of the reef structure and its inhabitants. We’d suggest keeping an eye out for larger Coney groupers near the ledges, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot an American Crested Pipefish tucked into the reef. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, suiting anyone from newer divers to those of us who just enjoy a chill explore without extreme conditions.
