Dive Spot Guide•
Lighthouse Reef - Grenada
Exposed patch reef with nurse sharks and rays.
Boat-access reef for experienced scuba divers; exposed structure, overhangs and sharks make it a better fit than a casual bay dive.
About Lighthouse Reef - Grenada
Lighthouse Reef - Grenada is a boat-access patch reef built around rock piles, ledges and overhangs, with big sea fans and a mostly hard-coral finish. It suits experienced scuba divers who want structured reef scenery, frequent nurse-shark encounters and rays rather than a sheltered, easygoing bay dive. Plan for a site that rewards calm buoyancy and day-of-condition checks, because the exposed edges make the dive feel more active than relaxed.
