About Tropical Hill, Carriacou
Tropical Hill, Carriacou is a shallow seamount off Tyrell Bay that reads like a compact coral pinnacle rather than a long swim. The route is simple: work down to the base, circle the rock, then spend most of the time around the fish-rich top where sergeant majors, morays, lobsters and crabs gather over the crest. It is a relaxed site for beginners, underwater photography, and calm-day snorkeling, with the shallow crown doing most of the work.
