Frigate Bay Reef
Located approximately ¾ of a mile west of Frigate Bay Beach. Turtles, lobsters and eels call this home and in so doing have made this site particularly popular with newly certified and experienced alike. A very narrow reef which is almost custom-made for those who enjoy multi-level diving.

Green Point Reef
A reef structure, which is abundant with tube sponges, barrel sponges, large sea fans and black coral trees. Grunts are seldom seen here but have been replaced with large angelfish, small grouper and dogtooth snapper. Lobsters are again ever present due to the many cracks and holes Green Point offers. The underwater architecture here is very volcanic with few hard corals, but mostly volcanic rock covered with soft corals.

Turtle Bar
Located in a bay on the southern part of St Kitts. For those who tend to have a weak stomach, this is the site for you. The depth allows for long bottom times. This reef is a maze of volcanic rock with schools of fish at every turn. Turtles are common here and thus the name Turtle Bar.

Nag's Head
Located on the Southern most lip of the island of St Kitts, Nag's Head is a battered rock formation, which has fallen into the ocean and formed a mini-wall, perfect for all kinds of critters. Large volcanic boulders covered in fire coral and sponge fill the bottom. Plump, black sea urchins can be seen, menacingly hiding amongst the cracks. Eagle rays, which feed on the nearby grass beds, can be seen gliding down the wall. Small fish are in abundance, particularly parrotfish of all kinds. This makes an excellent day or night dive.

The Vents
A short boat ride from Pinney's Beach in Nevis, the Vents boast spectacular black coral trees, wire coral and hot water vents holes that make this a most unusual dive. Large lobsters, stingrays and barracuda can also be seen.

Devil's Cavern
There are many swim-thrus that are thick with grunts and squirrelfish. Black durgons, Atlantic chub and snapper mixed with a variety of corals and fans make this a very attractive site. Good second dive due to depth.

Paradise Reef
Located in Old Road Bay, this mini wall has all the goods, old anchors, barracudas, turtles, lobsters, angelfish, rays and eels, just to name a few. The corals here have been well protected by the bay and show no signs of storm damage. This is a super dive site.

Grid Iron
Located on the Atlantic side of St.Kitts and Nevis the Grid Iron is a giant playground of fish and colour. A junkyard of stag horn coral, sea fans and sponges carpeted by a colourful display of marine life. Large lobsters are common here and reef sharks can be seen cruising the many mini walls and valleys created by the reef. Surface conditions on the Atlantic can be rough at times and can make you a little rubbery in the knees, however, if you like exploring relatively untouched sites this may be for you.

Aquarium
This is an advanced site for experienced divers with strong stomachs. Surface conditions are generally rough and currents can be unpredictable at times. located on the Windward side of Nevis, the Aquarium is a truly virgin dive spot aptly named for its variety of fish. Pristine corals play host to schools of jacks and grunts. Nurse sharks and stingrays laze around the seabed and anglerfish will follow your bubbles as you admire the many different sponges and corals.

Corinthian
Divers visiting for a week will usually get to dive this wreck and reef more than once. Fish are fed here and will gladly eat just about anything although we have them on a strict diet. The wreck of the Corinthian is an old tug that sits totally upright in 72 ft. largely intact this wreck site which was sunk in 1995 already boasts black coral trees. Clams can also be found attached to the hull. mackerel, parrot fish and groupers account for some of the larger fish species regularly encountered. If you're particularly observant, flounders and stonefish can also be spotted. The bow of the Corinthian gently slopes toward a shallow reef which can be explored during this exciting dive.
