Reef
Boat dive near Morne Rouge with fast water, sponge color and mid-depth runs; best for confident divers.
About Escape Reef
Escape Reef sits on Grenada's Caribbean side just before the Atlantic transition, so current defines the dive. The reef can run fast enough to turn schools of Creole wrasse, horse-eye jacks and the occasional barracuda into a moving show, while elephant ear and barrel sponges add color to the slope. It works best as a short, controlled boat dive for confident divers who are comfortable timing a drift and keeping their buoyancy tight.
