About this site
Shark Reef is a drift dive on the south side of Grenada's southwest corner, on the southern side of Glover's Island. It is a long reef running east to west that slopes seaward, and it is also known as Baby Shark Reef or Sting Ray Reef.
The profile runs from about 8 m (25 ft) down to 18 m (60 ft). The reef is exposed to the Atlantic, so strong currents at times attract abundant pelagic life.
Southern stingrays, juvenile and adult nurse sharks, spotted eagle rays and turtles ride the swift current or rest on the sea floor. Lobsters, crabs, sea stars and queen conch cling to coral mounds or work the sand patches. Grouper and yellowtail snapper hunt among streaming sea whips, sea rods, soft corals and schools of French grunts, and a giraffe-shaped pillar coral is a feature.

The dive suits adventurous Open Water divers, and it works as a shallow second dive for advanced divers. It is also a good place for underwater videography.
