Why you'll love diving in The-grenadines!
St. Vincent & the Grenadines is a nation of 32 islands located in the Lesser Antilles and part of the Windward Islands chain in the southern Caribbean. To the north is Saint Lucia and to the south Grenada.
The largest and northern most island is St. Vincent with it's forest-covered mountainous interior dominated by La Soufriere, a 4,000ft tall active volcano. On the south west coast is Kingstown, the nation’s capital. The remaining Grenadines lie to the south of St. Vincent. The largest and most populated being pretty Bequia, sophisticated Mustique, Canouan and the kite surfers' spot, Union Island. Smaller inhabited islands include Mayreau. The Tobago Cays is a marine park, a collection of five tiny islands, sheltered lagoons and coral reefs to the east of Mayreau.
Better known for the sailing St. Vincent and the Grenadines don't appear on many people's dive maps but that's a shame. Along the sloping volcanic walls off St. Vincent's leeward shore, visibility can top 30 meters thanks to the heavy granite-based sand that falls quickly when stirred up. St. Vincent is often referred to as the 'muck diving' capital of the Caribbean for the number of frogfish and other small 'critters' found there. Nine miles south of St. Vincent, the diving at Bequia and the Bequia Channel is drift diving in nutrient-rich waters with the chance of pelagics like jacks, sharks and rays.
Air Temperatures range between 21˚ to 32˚C while on average water temperatures range from 25˚ to 28˚C in summer and visibility between 8 to 40 meters. Diving is year round but watch out for hurricanes in the region between August and October.
