Dive Spot Guide•
Dr. Grooms Garden
Dr. Grooms Garden is a shallow Grenada critter reef with soft corals.
A shallow shore dive that rewards patient observation, good buoyancy and calmer windows when surge is not pushing through the holes.
About Dr. Grooms Garden
Dr. Grooms Garden is a shallow Grenada patch reef with soft corals over a hard-coral base and plenty of holes to inspect. It suits slow, patient dives where critter hunting matters more than distance covered. On calmer days the site is easy to read, but surge can push through the reef and make the holes feel busier on rougher days.

Local Intel For Dr. Grooms Garden
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a slow, shallow reef dive with careful buoyancy and close observation in the holes and sand channels.
Freediving
Only experienced freedivers should consider it on calm days; surge through the reef holes makes it a poor casual freedive site.
Snorkeling
The shallows are accessible, but the best details live in the reef structure, so snorkeling is secondary to scuba.
