Getting around Grenada - Dive Grenada
Diving GrenadaDiving at Happy Valley Grenada20-90ft (7-30m). Look for admiralty anchor.
Wall dive.

Happy Valley is located off happy hill, home to ex prime-minister Dr. Keith Mitchell.
This site is a really relaxing and chill out dive, with usually no or very little current, the dive can follow many different paths.
Pay close attention to the reef to spot honeycomb cow fish that hang out here.
Great Barracuda can be seen lurking in the sandy shallow seeking prey.
Squid fly in formation as a family, but are very well camouflaged, tend to be swimming at the same level as the divers and appear translucent as they turn away.
Good tidal movement makes this a good drift dive to Dragon Bay.
Considered one of Grenada's prettiest sites, this wall dive begins in a shallow forest of brown coral and continues down a shelving slope covered in gorgonians. Tropical fish swirl like colourful confetti around towering formations of pillar coral.
Amidst this stunning flora and fauna rests an ancient Admiralty anchor, a souvenir of Grenada's maritime history.
When the tide is running, Happy Valley becomes a pleasant drift dive to Dragon Bay in a gentle, southerly current.

Diving GrenadaHappy Valley GrenadaThe dive starts on a flat sandy shelf at Flamingo Bay and leads onto the wall of Happy Hill, which is covered in sea fans and whip coral in places but sparse in others.
The marine life is most prolific close to the shore, with larger fish patrolling the reef edge.
There is whip coral, black feather coral and gorgonian fans amongst which you may find moray eels, lobsters, scorpion fish, trunkfish, filefish and porcupine fish and perhaps even a whale shark.
