Windmill Shallows is a boat-access drift dive on a narrow Grenada ridge, with sea plume forests, gorgonians and hard-coral sections on the slope. Historic anchors and broken chains add structure as the ridge drops away, while tidal currents move the dive along the edge and bring in larger life. The top still keeps a few sandy pockets and underhangs for a slower look.

A ridge dive starting around 17 m and sloping to about 48 m on the outside.
Freediving
Freediving is not the main use case because the site depends on depth and current along the ridge.
Snorkeling
This is not a practical snorkel-first site; the profile is built around a deeper drift dive.
