Sherwood Forest: deep ridge with eagle rays
Sherwood Forest: deep ridge with eagle rays
Best handled with a local guide for briefing, timing, and conservative turn pressure.
Sherwood Forest is a deep Grenada ridge with anchors, hard coral and gorgonian structure, and regular pelagic movement off the edge. It suits divers who plan a boat dive, manage depth carefully, and are comfortable with a more committed profile than a casual reef swim. Expect a site that rewards steady buoyancy, conservative gas use, and a patient eye for passing rays and larger reef fish.
