About Black Forest - Grenada
Black Forest - Grenada is a boat-access sloping reef known for dense black gorgonians, large orange elephant ear sponges, and the holes and crevices that shelter small Caribbean critters. Divers come here for a slower reef hunt rather than big pelagic action, scanning the gorgonian forest and sponge-covered slope for crustaceans, eels, lobsters, porcupinefish, and other small life tucked into the reef.
