Dive In Deeper: Pure Grenada Dive & Conservation Festival 2026
October 26 – November 1, 2026 | Grenada & Carriacou
This October, it’s time to experience Grenada from beneath the surface.
The 5th Annual Pure Grenada Dive & Conservation Festival returns from October 26 to November 1, 2026, bringing together divers, ocean enthusiasts, conservationists, local communities and visitors for a week celebrating Grenada’s spectacular underwater world and the people working to protect it.
From exciting dives and marine encounters to conservation conversations, mangrove restoration and community clean-ups, this year’s festival offers plenty of ways to dive deeper into Grenada.
The Festival Begins in Carriacou
The 2026 festival kicks off in Carriacou on Monday, October 26, shining a spotlight on the island’s unique marine environment and the communities connected to it.
The opening will set the tone for a week focused not only on exploring the ocean, but also on understanding why protecting these environments matters.
The Carriacou program continues with diving opportunities and visits highlighting the island’s marine attractions, including its reefs and underwater sites, while showcasing local conservation and restoration initiatives.
Discover Grenada Beneath the Surface
Throughout the week, participating dive operators will offer opportunities to explore some of Grenada’s renowned dive sites and experience the incredible marine life found around the island.
From vibrant coral reefs and fascinating marine ecosystems to the iconic Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park, divers can discover why Grenada has earned its reputation as one of the Caribbean’s most exciting dive destinations.
Festival dive packages will also be available from participating operators, making it easier for visitors to experience more of Grenada’s underwater world.

Whether you are an experienced diver or simply passionate about the ocean, the festival provides an opportunity to explore, learn and connect with Grenada’s dive community.
Conservation Is at the Heart of the Festival
The festival goes beyond diving.
Throughout the week, participants will have opportunities to learn about the work being done to protect Grenada’s marine and coastal environments.
Conservation Conversations will bring together students, residents, visitors, divers and environmental organizations to discuss some of the issues affecting our oceans, including coral restoration, marine pollution, blue spaces and the importance of protecting our natural resources.
A special school-focused Conservation Conversation on Wednesday, October 28, will introduce students to marine conservation through engaging discussions and activities, helping to encourage the next generation of ocean advocates.
The program will also feature a community session on Friday, October 30, providing an opportunity for the wider public to learn more about local conservation initiatives and how they can get involved.
From Mangroves to Coral Reefs
Healthy oceans begin with healthy coastal ecosystems.
This year’s festival will highlight the importance of Grenada’s mangroves through activities at the Woburn Mangrove Reserve, where participants can learn more about mangrove ecosystems, birdlife and ongoing restoration efforts.
The festival will also shine a light on restoration work in Carriacou, including initiatives undertaken following the devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl in 2024.
These activities demonstrate that conservation is not limited to what happens underwater. Protecting Grenada’s marine environment means protecting the interconnected ecosystems that support our reefs, beaches, wildlife and communities.
Give Back to the Ocean
On Saturday, October 31, festival participants will come together for a Grand Anse Beach Clean-Up.
Grand Anse is one of Grenada’s most recognizable beaches, and the clean-up provides visitors and residents with a simple but meaningful way to give back to the environment.
It is also a reminder that every individual action matters. Keeping our beaches clean, reducing waste and making responsible choices all contribute to healthier marine environments.
More Than a Dive Festival
The Pure Grenada Dive & Conservation Festival is ultimately about connection.
It connects visitors with Grenada’s underwater world.
It connects communities with conservation.
And it connects adventure with a responsibility to protect the places we love.
For one week, Grenada and Carriacou will invite participants to not only see the beauty beneath the surface, but to better understand it and play a part in protecting it for generations to come.
Whether you are joining us for a dive, attending a conservation activity, exploring our coastal ecosystems or simply looking for a different way to experience Grenada, there is something waiting for you.
