Monkey Shoals:
Situated just off the western tip of St. Kitts’s peninsula, is home to lobsters, rays, lizard fish, and nurse sharks. Average depth is 50 feet.

Coconut Tree Reef:
This is one of the largest reefs in the area, beginning at a depth of 40 feet and plunging to nearly 200 feet. With its expanse, clear water, tremendous depth and abundant marine life, it is a good site for new and experienced divers alike.

Nags Head:
Located at the southern most tip of St. Kitts, where the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic meet. The current there is usually strong, making this a destination for experienced divers. The reef plunges into roughly 80 feet and is populated by rays, turtles, lobsters, and large reef fish.

Sandy Point:
This site has been designated a National Marine Park and offers truly world-class diving. Two of the most popular mooring sites (no anchors drooped) are Paradise Reef, a beautiful site of large coral heads with swim through canyons sloping to about 90 feet and Anchors Away, a

The Wreck of River Taw:
Taw is a 144 foot-long island freighter sunk intact in 50 feet of water. It was broken in half and the stern turned 180 degrees, providing easy swim-throughs and views directly into the hull. Skin Diver Magazine has called this, one of the twenty best wrecks in the Caribbean, but we think its one of the ten best.

M.V. Talata - Wreck
This is a terrific old freighter that found its demise due to a nasty hurricane in 1983. The Talata site rests on a reef and is totally upright and facing east across the harbour. Schools of squirrelfish and yellow tail snapper patrol from bow to stern. Oversized lobsters and a resident green moray will delight the photographer, as will the puffer fish and barracuda. If you are a wrecker, put this on the list.

Brimstone Shallows
Brimstone Shallows is located approximately two miles due west of the shoreline and boasts pristine corals both soft and hard. The mooring depth is approximately 45 - 50ft sliding down a wall to depths well over 100 feet. Schools of Creole wrasse are common. Barracuda, turtles, lobsters and eels also reside here, and if you are lucky, the occasional reef shark will be spotted along the edge of the depths. Good first dive where fish abound.

The Finger Reef
Stretching out like a finger, this dive site just has the feel of excitement the moment you hit the water and look down. A ridge beckons from both sides as you swim along the top of the reef at about 60-70ft. Schools of Creole wrasse, jacks and mackerel envelope you from the deep blue and what lies within. This is one of my favourites

Friars Bay Reef
Friars Bay reef is a favourite for newly certified and beginners. Located about a mile from the shoreline, it has become a popular site for many and will always provide a nice easy reef dive with plenty to see. Juvenile angelfish abound, as do big lobsters and spotted morays. Stingrays have found home in the sand along the edges of the reef and seem undisturbed by the curious diver.

Black Coral Reef
The attractions here are the majestic black coral trees, which protrude from this mini wall. Creole wrasse and snapper frequent the wall's edge and lizardfish are always threatening to spoil the peacefulness by stalking the many grunt fish, which are common here. A very healthy reef that is full of surprises.
