Grenada Eco Dive center, where you can enjoy some of Grenada's best scuba diving, is now located at the newly renovated, Coyaba Beach Resort.
Diving conditions and sea-life vary dramatically in Grenada:
The choppy, current-swept Atlantic Ocean surrounding the island's windward shores attracts schooling pelagics, turtles, and big-game fish.
The flat-calm Caribbean Sea off the protected west coast fosters spectacular, shallow reefs teeming with delicate coral formations and nurser nies of juvenile fish. BIANCA C WRECK
Dive Profile: 90' - 130' / 28m - 41m.
Known as the 'Titanic of the Caribbean', the Bianca C is the Caribbean's largest wreck, and Grenada's most famous dive. After mysteriously catching fire in St George's harbour in 1961, this 600' luxury liner was towed out to sea where she sank, settling upright in 160 feet of water. The normal dive profile ranges from 90', where the fully intact bow section looms into view, down to her mid-section, where divers may float around in her huge, on-deck swimming pool.
Other fascinating features include the elegant staircase to the upper promenade, the cargo hold and the ship's massive, toppled funnel.
After four decades under water, the Bianca C is encrusted with a beautiful tapestry of hard and soft corals, and is home to barracuda,
spotted eagle rays and schools of jacks. The Bianca C dive is truly an awe-inspiring experience, but due to depth and the possibility of
strong currents, it is only suitable for confident divers, and a checkout dive will normally be required.

Dive Profile: 20' - 80' / 6m - 25m.
This extensive reef begins just outside St. George's harbour and continues for six miles south-west towards Point Saline. Its gently sloping topography is carpeted in patches of finger and pillar corals, branching sea rods, sea whips, and forests of soft brown coral trees.
Large shoals of blue Creole wrasse flit through this "other-worldly" landscape. Caribbean lobsters peek out from canyons and crevices, while stingrays, conch and octopus lurk in the sand patches that dot this reef.
DRAGON BAY
Dive Profile: 25' - 90' / 8m - 28m.
This Grenada Marine Park site is ideal for snorkellers, beginners, and advanced divers alike. Beginning over the sands of Dragon Bay, the dive descends along a steep slope which stretches south towards Molinere Point. Sand channels and deep fissures punctuate the angular volcanic rock in the shallows, while over the edge, hard corals, gorgonians and tufts of black coral cling to the wall.
Fish life is abundant, including grouper, French angelfish, chromis, and spotted moray eels.

Grenada Dive Sites
When it comes to fantastic Caribbean Scuba diving, Grenada has it all! Whether shallow or deep; over wrecks, walls or gorgeous reefs; in calm Caribbean waters or drifting through swift Atlantic currents, Grenada's Scuba diving is sure to please divers of every level of expertise.
A dazzling aquarium of tropical fish and brilliant coral thrives on our pristine reefs. The underwater kaleidoscope of colours, shapes and textures, swirling with innumerable adult and juvenile fish species is a dive photographer's dream.
Abundant pelagic life includes eagle rays, reef sharks, bull sharks, white-tips, and resident nurse sharks, who shelter under overhangs or sleep in groups on the decks of sunken freighters. Manta rays migrate through this area, feeding in plankton-rich offshore currents, and sea turtles are common, as Grenada's sandy beaches are a major nesting area.
Submarine topography features undulating plateaus, sand chutes, pinnacles, sloping shelves, coral-encrusted canyons and dramatic drop-offs over 'bottomless' walls.
The Isle of Spice also offers a fascinating variety of deep and shallow wrecks, including the 600' cruise ship Blanca C, the largest and most awe-inspiring wreck dive in the Caribbean.
An exciting day trip, Grenada's undeveloped archipelago of Isle De Ronde features spectacular fish life, untouched reefs, dramatic sea-scapes, a stalactite-decorated cavern, and underwater percussion from nearby 'Kick Em Jenny'. the Caribbean's most active submarine volcano.
Some of the finest Grenada dive sites lie just off EcoDive's Grande Anse Beach location, only a few minutes ride in our speedy, comfortable boats. The island's beautiful, protected reefs are also ideal for night dives and snorkel trips. Truly, this is Caribbean Scuba diving at its best!
