Valleys - Grenada is a shallow reef dive on the Boss Reef system, with sand channels cutting through the top of the reef before it drops toward the edge. It is a slow, relaxed reef day: look for creole wrasse and smaller critters in the shallows, then follow the edge for the more interesting drop-off and overhangs. It is best approached as a boat dive, with calm expectations and a steady eye on the seaward line. The top of the reef is forgiving, but the outer edge is where the site asks for more respect.
