Purple Rain is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Grenada. This dive site has an average rating of 4.75 out of 5 from 4 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 91-100ft/28-30m. The average visibility is 51-60ft/16-18m.

Location: Near Mourne Rouge Beach, St Georges
Description: Reef / drift
Depth: 6 - 28 metres (20 - 92 feet)
Visibility: 25 metres (80 feet)


Purple rain is so called because of the large number of Creole Wrasse descending in the waters like raindrops. The reef is made up of two ridges running parallel to the coastline and makes a nice relaxing dive. The reef top teems with life and there are millions of micro fish living in the reef. Although it is a drift dive, the current is usually gentle.



From the hundreds of fish you can expect to see here, you might see Moray eels, Creole Wrasse, spotted Drumfish, spotted Trunkfish, Cowfish, trumpetfish, lobsters, sqirrelfish, and banded shrimp to name just a very few.

Micah - 2/01/2015 8:36 AM Rating Added: 4 Good diving spot! This is not my favorite place to dive in the Caribbean. The coral and marine live were not a good as in other places, but overall was still a great time. A lot of the reefs in this area seem to be damaged worse than in other places like Dominica or the Virgin Islands.

Parke - 2/27/2010 7:58 PM This site gets its name from all the purple fish coming at you like rain. It’s a lovely reef, with more coral types than I can identify. There are also plenty of trumpet fish, glasseye snapper, wrasse, squirrel fish, parrot fish, porcupine fish, etc.
