Shark Reef Grenada
Just off Glover Island, this is a reef abundant with all types of fishes and rays. On almost every trip, southern stingrays and juvenile nurse sharks are seen.A fun dive at 40 feet (12 m) with lots to see including a giraffe-shaped pillar coral.
This is a shallow reef on the Atlantic side of the island and can be a very invigorating drift.
The shoulder of the reef which slopes from 12m to 20m is the best part to dive, were you can explore the nooks and crannies (as much as the current will let you), for lobsters, morays, crabs and small nurse sharks (hence the name). As the current takes you shoals of grunts, mahogany snapper and goatfish will pass you by.
If you are lucky a nurse shark may be out and about rather than hiding in a hole, but you are more likely to see one of the turtles, which sleep and feed on the reef quite regularly.
