Carriacou Silver Diving
In contrast to touristically well developed destinations as e.g. Bonaire, Carriacou’s underwater landscape will not offer shore diving, but delightfully short boat rides of only 10 to 15 minutes to the majority of the dive sites.
That gives divers the comfort of not having to spend the whole day on the boat...single tank diving in small groups with a lunch break to unwind is the rule here unless business demands differently.
The diving experience the visitor finds around Carriacou is inimitable in the encounter of the U/W-World: Forests of soft corals with up to 10 feet in height and underwater fauna ranging from the tiny critter of a Flamingo Tongue to a 10 feet long Reef or Nurse shark; Giant Green or juvenile Golden-brown Moray eels, turtles, Eagle and Sting rays and whole lobster colonies in sizes from ‘youngsters’ to ‘elders’.
Reef tops and reef edges are located at a depth of about 7 meters (20 feet) to 9 meters (30 feet) and the maximum depth at the dive-sites varies from app. 22 meters (70 feet) to 40 meters (130 feet) – ideal dive profiles for sport diving.
Carriacou Silver Diving, together with local agencies and other partners is working presently in establishing a marine park for the destination as a commitment to preserve its U/W- world for the coming generations and to create new attractions, like artificial reefs

Carriacou's Regatta festival
The village of Windward is home to the descendent of a group of Scottish boat builders who settled here in the 19th century. The Scottish names and boatbuilding skills have been passed down through the generations. Many locally built boats from small fishing sloops to large trading schooners are seen in the Carriacou waters.
