Naufragio Blackadder - Salvador & Bahia

Quarantine Point, tucked along Grenada’s southwest coast, is a proper chill dive, often overlooked for the flashier wrecks. We love it for exactly that reason – it's unhurried, a real chance to slow down and scour the reef. It’s essentially a series of coral tongues interspersed with sandy bays, topping out around 14 metres and dropping to 17. Our favourite part has to be those sand patches; they’re brilliant for bottom dwellers. We've seen flounders burrowed in, and if you’re patient, the odd barracuda ghosting past. The coral sections are thick with sea plumes and Porites, and we’d suggest keeping an eye out for seahorses here. They seem to favour these areas. We’ve also spotted loads of puffcheek blennies, those little characters with their inflated cheeks, and the mottled conger moray, which is always a treat. On a good day, the visibility averages 16 metres. It’s a site that rewards a slow pace, making it perfect for photographers or anyone who just wants to drift and really observe the smaller stuff. This isn't a site for ripping currents or big pelagics, it's for the quiet beauty of a healthy Caribbean reef.
