Grenada

Treat Grenada's deep wrecks with respect. Sites like the Bianca C and some deeper sections of other wrecks push recreational limits and are best dived on nitrox with a computer, solid buoyancy, and comfort with blue water safety stops. Agree on maximum depth and gas turn pressures before the dive, carry an SMB and spool per buddy team, and keep ascent rates conservative. On days with stronger current or swell, operators may switch to alternate sites or modify profiles; follow their briefings closely and be honest about your experience level.

St. George's has private and public medical facilities able to manage most routine issues, plus access to a hyperbaric chamber for diving emergencies. In an emergency, contact your dive operator and local emergency services first, then consult Divers Alert Network if you are a member. Smaller clinics serve other parts of Grenada and Carriacou, but serious cases are usually stabilized locally and then referred or evacuated regionally. Carry a personal medication kit, copies of your insurance policy, and a simple log of recent dives.

Marine parks around Grenada use moorings to keep anchors off the reef and a fee system to fund patrols, marker buoys, and sculpture maintenance. Operators brief guests not to touch corals or sponges, stand on the reef, or move artifacts at the sculpture park. Many dive centers participate in coral restoration, lionfish control, and debris surveys. On land, turtle conservation groups protect nesting beaches, controlling nighttime access and using red light only during turtle tours. Respect closures, avoid flash photography and bright lights, and favor reef safe sunscreen to reduce your impact.
