Spotters Reef on Grenada’s southwest coast is one of our absolute favourite shallow dives, hitting a maximum of 22m. The name isn't just marketing; we’ve consistently found incredible macro life here. Think puffcheek blennies bobbing in the current, roughhead triplefins perched on the coral, and tiny eyed flounders camouflaged on the sand. It’s the kind of site where you need to slow down, really look, and let your eyes adjust to the smaller details. We’ve had some fantastic encounters with frogfish tucked into sponges, and golden tail morays peeking from crevices. The deep water sea fans are always worth a close look; we’ve spotted the elusive black cyphoma here a few times, a real treat if you can find one. You’ll also cruise past Caribbean reef clams, spotted soapfish, and plenty of juvenile drums. Visibility averages around 16m, which is perfectly fine for a site where you’re mostly focused on what's directly in front of you. This spot is ideal for photographers and anyone who loves a treasure hunt for the unusual.
