As many of you know, I go to medical school in Grenada, West Indies. I recently had a week break to go on a little adventure throughout the lower Caribbean Islands. I started from Grenada and took a ferry to Carriacou and went to Petite Martinique on the same ferry. Spent the night in PM and took a private boat over to Union Island, St. Vincent. From Union, I took the Jaden Sun to Bequia, SVG to meet my friend Nadeem (bequia Blues). We had planned a few days of spearing and I was very excited to spear a new location in the Caribbean!
Packing for the trip:
St. George’s, Grenada Harbor
Carriacou:
Petite Martinique:
I arrived in Bequia around 8:30am
Picked up by Nadeem and after a quick stop for a boat driver (Michelle), we went to his gorgeous 32 Luhrs!
We speared for a few days and killed a good amount of fish. Here are the highlights! Got the lobster diving on tanks, and the mutton freediving a wall that went from 30ft to about 130’. The mutt went 20lbs and the two biggest lobster were 6 and 8lbs. Absolute pigs! I’ll let the pics do the talking for me though! The muttons were being super spooky both days, with sightings of probably 9 or 10 muttons on the last day including one that I would venture a guess as to 10lbs larger than the one that I caught. The erratic behavior of the mutts was frustrating us all day until I was lucky enough to get a stupid one that upon seeing me ran up the wall instead of down the wall and holed up in a coral head. This fatal mistake proved advantageous to me as all I had to do was dive down into the coral head and plug him with a solid holding shot!
On the way back, there was some tropical weather moving in to the area and had to outrun a few storms on the Jaden Sun. We had two waterspouts touch down next to the boat between Mayreaou and Cannouan
All in all, it was a great trip! I’d like to thank Nadeem (bequiablues) for his amazing hospitality and getting me on the muttons! As well as George Steele (dude_george) for getting the trip set up for me! I hope you all had a great time looking at the pics and reading this report!
