Diving
“Dive
into another world”
Tobago is one of the world’s top-dive destinations
and scuba-diving in its tropical waters is an
unforgettable adventure. Perfectly located where
the outflow of the Orinoco, the Southern Atlantic
and the Caribbean Sea meet, Tobago’s waters
are full of nutrients consequently heaving with
underwater life. Immerse yourself in crystal
clear sun dappled waters where astonishing exotic
fish of every species such as fairy basslets,
triggerfish, glassy sweepers, spotted drum,
serjeant majors and angel fish weave in and
out. Sponges of every variety and almost all
the of the 300 species of South Atlantic coral
are there before your eyes aswell as what is
purported to be the largest Brain Coral in the
world, while the reefs gently slope to the sea
bed. Amongst the plunging submarine cliffs and
volcanic formations look out for the larger
sea creatures, whales, sharks, dolphins, squid,
turtles, manta rays and tarpon.
The seas are at their “roughest” from
December to April while from July to September,
the water temperatures are at their highest
reaching around 80 degrees.
Speyside is Tobago’s “diving”
capital and together with Charlotteville are
the main scuba bases in the north-east offering
a diversity of sites from spectacular, unspoiled
reefs and sheltered diving to the offshore diving
around Goat and Little Tobago.
Wreck diving is available on the west coast
where a sunken ferry, the MV Maverick is a favourite
“to visit”.
The Island’s diving industry is run to
professional and international standards. It
has an Association of Dive Operators whose instructors
are all PADI or NAUI certified and offers courses
for the beginner, the amateur and advanced divers
wishing to gain further experience. Mindful
of your skill level your Dive Operator/Diving
Guide will find a dive adventure suitable for
you!
We must stress the importance of choosing an
Association member to dive with, and will be
pleased to make any recommendations. Contact
