Barbados
has two excellent wrecks where innumerable fish have made their homes.
Reef and drift dive sites abound and on the west coast a gentle turtle
might tag along.
In Grenada
they claim the largest dive wreck in the Caribbean, an Italian
liner that caught fire and sank in St Georges Harbour in 1961.
To the northwest lies the tiny island of
Carriacou. Carriacou's Sandy Island now part of the protected
Marine Park that surrounds this lovely island with its welcoming wonderland
of turtles, brightly decorated fish and fantastic reefs.
Carriacou
is a lovely watersport holiday destination.
There are several excellent dive locations off the leeward coast of
St. Vincent
as well as all around Bequia, the largest of its dependencies. Further
down the chain Lagoon Bay and Britannia Bay in
Mustique are popular dive sites.
St. Lucia
has recognised that its incredible marine life is a hidden treasure
and active environmental groups are ensuring its safety. There are
many magnificent sites to dive but perhaps none so spectacular as
the 200ft wall dive below Petit Piton where an incredible array of
marine life congregates.
Considered by many to be the diving world's best kept secret
Dominica is a diver's paradise. The mountainous drop continues steeply
into the water giving sediment free, crystal clear vision. The incredible
diversity to be found underwater includes hot, fresh-water springs, a diving
experience that shouldn't be missed.
