Pure Grenada Dive Fest – Carriacou
Our first experience of the Pure Grenada Dive Fest was diving the wonderful sister island of Carriacou. A 2 hour ferry ride from the mainland and we were transported to an idyllic Caribbean island, eager to jump into the water and explore the turquoise waters. Our first day of diving was with Deefer Diving, and they suggested we did a quick dive under the jetty while we waited for the first boat dive of the day. We love a pier dive, so quickly donned our gear and headed into the water. We were blown away by what we saw as our heads dropped under the gentle waves – thousands of fish, darting this way and that to avoid predators lurking nearby.
The reefs around Carriacou are in pristine condition too. The first two days of Dive Fest were themed “Isle of Reefs” and “Environment Day” and saw us doing 4 dives with both Deefer Diving and Lumbadive. Probably the most famous dive on Carriacou is The Sisters, with currents regularly bringing nutrients to the site, the corals and marine life are prolific here.
There are also a couple of nice small wrecks to explore, and we finished our final dive to find our smiling dive guide posing on a recently wrecked yacht that has already seen schools of small fish making this their new home.
Carriacou is one of those islands that is friendly, beautiful and has great diving. Two days was certainly not enough to fully appreciate what it has to offer and only made us want to return and explore some more.
