Beginner-friendly Carriacou reef garden with rich mixed habitat.
Sandy Island Garden is a reef-and-sand garden on Carriacou with a shallow coral top, sand channels and a reef drop-off that keep the dive interesting without making it intimidating. It suits relaxed scuba training and night dives, and the mixed habitat draws a broad mix of reef fish, rays and other small creatures.
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy light over sand channels and reef edges, especially on night dives, so you do not stir the bottom or lose your line.
