Experience the vibrant culture and hospitality, warm clear waters and plenty of dive sites on this week-long Visit Grenada trip to the Caribbean spice island. Easily accessible from the UK, and yet a world apart, travel in mid-May to combine diving and chocolate at the annual Grenada Chocolate Festival (13-22 May 2016).

Enjoy exciting dive sites during a stay at True Blue Bay Resort, a small family-run, boutique, diver-dedicated resort situated on the south coast of Grenada and surrounded by tropical gardens. The resort overlooks the spectacular True Blue Bay and accommodation ranges from bright, colourful and cheery rooms to luxurious villas. All are equipped with air-conditioning, en-suite bathroom, cable TV and Wifi. The Dodgy Dock restaurant is popular with locals and tourists, offering a broad range of cuisine in a relaxed and comfortable setting. Other facilities include a swimming pool, day spa, cookery classes, small children’s playground, kayaks, hobie-cat sailing and yacht charters.

The resident dive operators are Aquanauts Grenada, a professional company offering daily boat dives and courses for all, from Bubblemaker (from eight years old) to specialty courses such as Deep Diver and SDI Solo Diver, great for photographers. Aquanauts Tech Diving offer TDI training.

Local dive sites include a wide variety for all experience levels and for every taste – be it shallow coral gardens, unspoiled reefs or interesting wrecks. Grenada is renowned for its large portfolio of wrecks, the most famous being the Bianca C, dubbed the ‘Titanic of the Caribbean’, while San Juan and King Mitch attract plenty of pelagic species including nurse sharks.

Diving highlights within the marine park include Dragon Bay, Happy Hill and the Sculpture Park, all with plenty of marine life to observe (moray eels, lobster, eagle rays and turtles) and sites are suitable for all. Experienced divers can enjoy a day trip to Isle de Rhonde (weather permitting) famous for its steep walls covered in fans and colourful sponges as well as plenty of pelagic marine life encounters.
