Getting around Grenada - Dive Grenada
Flamingo Bay Diving GrenadaFlamingo Bay shallow reef wall diveSet in a bay just to the north of St George’s, Flamingo Reef can be snorkelled as well as dived, making it a good option if you have non-divers along.
A mounded reef rises out of a grey sand bottom, reaching to within 15 feet of the surface and descending off the lip of the bay down to a maximum of 80ft.
It is usually dived from the shallow end in a circle around the reef so that you descend and then return on the top of the reef from 45 feet, coming gradually back to the surface.

A shallow reef wall covered in spiralling sea whips.
Very chilled dive and the sea here is a very pleasant turquoise blue colour.
Find some cleaner shrimp in a barrel sponge and some juvenile angelfish.
Wall full of reef fish - creole wrasse, yellow chromis, grunts and jack knife fish.

The name comes from the tiny flamingo tongues that can be often seen on the sea fans, but many other hard and soft corals can be seen as well.
Small reef fish - tangs, squirrel fish and sergeant majors - hang in the water above you in an explosion of colour.
Other, larger fish include the long and thin trumpet fish, lizard fish, the occasional barracuda or moray.
This is one of the most accessible and ‘easiest’ but most rewarding dives in the island, so it makes a good first dive.
