Whibbles Reef

Whibbles Reef on Grenada’s Southwest Coast is our go-to for a bit of everything, especially when we’re feeling adventurous. The top of the reef starts around 17 meters, then rolls down to 24 meters, eventually dropping much deeper. We tend to focus on that shallower shelf, where you find a really interesting mix of solid hard corals and these huge, swaying sea plumes. Keep an eye out for the sand patches, too; they’re often home to something unexpected. What we really love about Whibbles is the variety. You can drift along, watching for jacks and barracuda cruising by in the blue, then slow down and hunt for smaller things. We’ve spotted plenty of shy brotula tucked away and even a few saddle stargazers buried in the sand, just their eyes poking out. If you hit it right in July or August, the male Quillfinn blennies are in their full mating colors in the sand. Visibility hovers around 15 meters, sometimes better, sometimes a bit less, so it’s always an engaging dive. It suits divers who appreciate a site that rewards both a wide-angle gaze and a close-up search.
