The diving in Grenada is a great kept secret. With a non-stop flight
leaving from New York I can arrive in Grenada in 5 hours time. This is
quicker than going to Cozumel. The boats from Aquanuts are big and have
lots of space. Two divemasters Bruce and Reese were excellent at helping
with gear and showing us all the great sites and critters underwater. The
owners of the dive shop, Gerlinde and Peter, run a great and safe
operation. We broke down on the way to dive the Bianca C. They came out in
another boat right away and Peter and the Dive Masters were working to fix
the engine. Soon we were on our way. The dive shop is attached to the
resort so its easy for divers to get to. The resort offers breakfast with
your room rate and its pretty good. The food in general at True Blue was
excellent but expensive. The service is quite slow and if you are trying to
catch the afternoon dive and want to have lunch, well lets just say you
will have to eat and run. As far as the reefs go, Grenada has some
excellent dives to offer. The reefs are in excellent condition, lots of
fish and great wrecks. I even saw a seahorse! The people of Grenada are
very friendly and love to party. My cousin and I had a great time and can't
wait to return.
