Grenada has received 12 honors in the 2027 Scuba Diving Readers’ Choice Awards, reinforcing its reputation as one of the Caribbean’s recognized destinations for underwater exploration. Among the most significant results, Grenada achieved second place in the Wreck Diving category and earned Top 10 recognition for Best Overall Diving in the Caribbean.

The awards are part of the 34th annual Readers’ Choice survey organized by Scuba Diving magazine, which attracted 10,713 respondents this year. Participants evaluated diving destinations, operators, resorts and underwater experiences based on places they had visited during the previous two years. The survey reflects the opinions of experienced divers and recognizes destinations offering a wide range of underwater activities.

In addition to its second-place finish for Wreck Diving, Grenada was ranked among the Top 10 in Best Overall Diving, Advanced Diving and Best Value. The destination also received recognition in eight other categories: Macro Life, Beginners, Snorkeling, Shore Diving, Health of Marine Environment, Wall Diving, Underwater Photography and Big Animals.

The achievement was celebrated at DEMA Show 2026, held November 3–6 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. During the event, the award trophy was presented to Shanai St. Bernard, Nautical Development Manager at the Grenada Tourism Authority.

This year's 12 honors represent an increase from the 11 recognitions received in the previous edition. The Grenada Tourism Authority highlighted the contribution of local dive operators, marine conservation partners and the wider diving community, whose work helps sustain the quality of the destination's underwater experiences.

Grenada's diving appeal extends beyond its reefs. The island offers underwater walls, diverse marine life and historic shipwrecks that attract both recreational and advanced divers. The wider destination also includes Carriacou and Petite Martinique, where visitors can discover additional marine environments and experiences connected to the Caribbean Sea.

The latest awards provide further international exposure for Pure Grenada and strengthen its position in the competitive Caribbean diving market. They also highlight the importance of protecting marine ecosystems while developing tourism experiences that bring together adventure, biodiversity and local communities.

For divers seeking their next Caribbean adventure, Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique offer a combination of underwater exploration, marine life and distinctive island experiences.
