I will be going to Grenada and the Grenadines. What are the best dive operators? Any specific sites that I shouldn't miss?
Hey Natham\
I have dove in Grenada with Aquanauts grenada http://www.aquanautsgrenada.com/
They can cover anything from tri-mix gas/rebreather to simple air if thats what you dive.
I and a couple of other guys have dove with them out of their True Blue Bay site and they are top notch. They also have an "office"on Grand Anse Beach
We had a DM/Instructor Paul (British) as our leader and he's was one of the best Dm Ive have in the Caribbean and Ive done over a 500 dives there (caribbean)and he can dive all of the above listed if needed.
The boats usually have "small groups " of up to 10 divers (when we were there) smaller if your a tech diver.
One Dive is a must if your diving in Grenada
Off Point Salines, St Georges
Description: Cruise ship
Length: 220 metres
Depth: 145Ft to deck,160-170 Ft to sea floor
Visibility: 75-100 Ft
As of Must do sites you have to do the wreck of the Bianca C. Its one of the best in the Caribbean but she is starting to succumb to her time in salt water. When you dive her you usually start by descending onto her stern which is about 140-150 Ft with about 160 Ft to the sea floor. The current if any runs from stern to bow and to a "shallow" reef @ about 60 ft (Whibble reef)
their ar may dive site on the "caribbean"/leeward side and a few on the Caribbean/windward side depending on.....you guessed it the wind.
The y have a nice reef called I thing nurse Shark reef wh
ich sort of straddled the Caribbean and Atlantic ...our first dive saw many a nurse shark and heard whales (my guess humpbacks) off in the distance.
check them out
I dont think you will be disappointed
cheers
