What you’ll see
Tobago boasts a wide variety
of marine life, especially in
the offshore reef systems
which are sustained by
Tobago’s plankton-rich waters
— coral; reef fish; rays;
moray eels; invertebrates;
sharks (and their favourite
prey like jacks, barracuda,
wahoo, tarpon, and tuna). Between
December and May, if
you’re really lucky, you might
just catch sight of magnificent
whale sharks — especially
off Speyside.
What you’ll need
Hire one of the PADI/SSIcertified
Association of
Tobago Dive Operators (ATDO,
tobagoscubadiving.com)
vendors. They will arrange
for training, as needed, and
plan the most appropriate
dives for your level of
experience.
Popular dives in the south
include Flying Reef, Mt
Irvine Wall, Arnos Vale,
Englishman’s Bay, Diver’s
Dream and Diver’s Thirst,
and — for experts — the
Maverick wreck (sunk in 1997),
off Mt Irvine, or drift diving
the Columbus Passage.
In the north, Speyside and
Charlotteville attract more
experienced divers; the
visibility is greater, the water
deeper, and the marine
landscape richest. Popular
dives include Keleston Drain
(where you can see what’s
reported to be the world’s
largest living big brain coral),
Japanese Gardens, London
Bridge, Bookends, the Sisters
rocks, St Giles Island, and
— popular with beginners —
Black Jack Hole and King’s Bay.
