What is diving like on Carriacou?
Diving is as unique as one can discover at famous Dive Destinations in the Caribbean,
with reefs of great bio-diversity and in excellent conditions.
There are all in all about twenty sites to explore on Carriacou including reefs, walls and wrecks.
The depth of the sites vary from 20 feet (7 metres) to 130 feet (40 metres) – perfect for sport divers!
Visibility is between 40 feet (12 metres) to 130 feet (40 metres).
At the dive-sites ranges the marine life from small critters, like nudibranches, to colourful reef-fishes, murray-eels and lobsters – and impressive rays, nurse sharks and turtles… plus not to forget sea-horses.
What types of Boats are used for Dives?
Typically pirogues in sizes between 20 to 32 feet are being used with ladders for entry, since the groups of divers tend to be smaller than on Grenada.
What qualifications to the Instructors have?
All instructors have qualifications with PADI, the biggest worldwide diving organization, and carry insurance.
Is There a Compression Chamber?
There is no Recompression Chamber on Carriacou. The nearest ones are in Barbados and Trinidad and dive-shops on Carriacou tend to work closely with the one in Barbados which is only 40 minutes by flight and emergency plans are established.
