Grenada gives divers a rare country-scale mix of deep wreck reputation, protected shallow signature sites, and a second island that feels entirely different. Stay in Grenada (St. George's and Grand Anse) if you want famous wreck names, shorter airport transfers, and flexible west-coast scheduling. Add Carriacou (Tyrrel Bay) when you want quieter coral gardens, easier reef repetition, and more of a Grenadines cadence. The result is not just variety on paper. It changes how you build the week: deeper wreck mornings and marine-park shallows on the main island, then slower reef and drift days up north.

Operator Checklist
Choose the main island if you only have three to five nights or you are flying in for a wreck-focused trip. Choose a split stay if you have at least a week and want the country to feel bigger than one hotel zone. Carriacou is especially worth adding for photographers, relaxed repeat divers, and couples where one traveler dives and the other prefers beaches, boat days, or snorkeling. In wet-season months, keep the most transfer-sensitive part of the trip flexible and avoid making your final international connection depend on a same-day ferry.
