Comments The most recent undercurrent release really made Carriacou sound like a great place. The dive shop was very good but the diving was not. Very few animals other
Than eels and small fish and over the week we dove the same spots again and again.
In my opinion this area has been fished beyond its capacity and there were hardly any
Of your normal Caribbean characters. The lion fish were small and nearly non-existent and I saw very few parrot fish. The corals seemed lackluster to me especially after the write up Undecirrent had put out. There is one reliable place to eat, and to be honest I wish we would have spent out $$ on the Caymans instead. The dive staff were great but we won’t be returning.
