There are scads of wreck dives including the Bianca C, known as the "titanic of the Caribbean." Then there is the Underwater Sculpture Garden off the coast of Grenada in Moilinere Bay. The bay is now home to 65 sculptures, which are not only stunning to view, but create artificial reefs for marine life. The sculptures lie in clear, shallow waters easily visible to snorkelers and glass-bottomed boats. There are also magnificent natural waterfalls where you can jump in for a swim. A program is in place by which you can come and stay as a guest in the home of a native Grenadian. The community will surprise you with their warm hospitality and friendliness, and you will learn the charming life of an island family. If interested, contact grenhome@spiceisle.com).
