Tobago's greatest collection of rock islands and pinnacles ranges between a spot west of the village of Charlotteville in Man-of-War Bay, on the north side, past the island's eastern tip to the Batteaux Bay community of Speyside. Nowhere else in the Caribbean can you find a collection with this magnitude of huge volcanic spires rising from the depths to break the surface making Tobago Scuba Diving some of the best you will find.

Flying Reef

• The diver follows the edge of the reef with the sand on the left and coral sloping up to the right to shallow water approx. 25ft/8m. Located on the Atlantic side of Tobago, Flying reef normally has a gentle drift between 0-2 kts of current.
• The dive runs from east to west with the current. The depth is max at 55ft/18m.
• On the dive it is possible to see Stingrays, Nurse shark and Sand sharks, schools of big eye and glass eye snapper as well as many different types of reef fish like Parrot fish, French angel fish and Porcupine fish. There is also a large ship's anchor surrounded by Pork fish and Schools of Bermudan chub.
• This is a great introduction to drift diving ,the journey to flying reef takes about 10 mins from the Pigeon Point and is a beginner to intermediate dive.

Diver's Dream

• Located on Drew Shoal 2.5 miles off Crown Point on the southern end of the island. The Atlantic currents push nutrient full water up and around this shallow plateau creating a virtual feeding ground for all types of marine life.
  
• Divers drop into 65ft/20m and follow a series of Barrel sponges which angle with the current towards the dive site which ascends to the plateau at around 20ft/7m
  
• There are two sides to dive, the left side has large overhangs where Nurse shark's tend to hang out. The right hand side where a series of large rock formations begin, these rocks give protection from the strong current allowing the diver to study the amazing amounts of fish, every thing from Blue Wrasse to large African Pompano, Turtles, Nurse and reef Shark's and the barracuda all oblivious to the current.
• Because of the strong currents between 0-5kts this dive can last between 30-45mins and is treated as an advanced dive, it is advisable to start out on the gentler drifts first.

• Located on the Southern Atlantic side of the Island, CoveRush has two reefs a shallow 35-50ft ledge which is a favorite with Turtles, Nurse and Sand sharks, also large Cubera snapper enjoy the protection of the small caves and coral run through's. The area has large schools of reef fish and resembles a gold fish bowl.
• Because of the shallow depth the dive tends to last up to an hour and is a very relaxing slight drift dive.
• The deeper side of Cove drops from 35 to 70ft and has a beautiful healthy coral reef full of sea fans barrel sponges and Stag horn corals. On occasion huge Jew fish can be seen passing in and out of the Stag Horn coral and large schools of Bermudan Chub cruise up and down the reef.

• This long plain of lush coral drops from 30' to 60' then slopes off steeply. Home of the World's Biggest Brain Coral! This single colony is about 10ft(3M) high and 16ft(5.3M) across, and is the largest single brain coral colony in the world! Comprised of millions of individual coral animals, huge as it is, the colony is very fragile. The adjacent reef is full of colorful sponges, great branching corals and is occupied by many large barracuda and, frequently, large green morays. This is also where Tobago's famous Manta Rays show up in season!

• This site lies just south of Little Tobago. At one part during the dive, you'll come up to some heavy wave action on the surface. The water is churned up and high with energy. From below, it takes on a cloudy look, much like storm clouds. Don't hold your breath when you run into the large school of HUGE tarpons drifting among the clouds.
• On all the dives, you're sure to be entertained by large parrotfish, trumpets, jacks and grouper. On some of the dive sites, you might run into large reef-sharks, eagle and mantas.

• Located on the southern wing of Little Tobago, this site is one of the loveliest in the area and abounds with photo opportunities. The currents are minimal so its easy to set up your shots of schooling purple & gold Creole Wrasse, huge Green Morays, the resident juvenile Black Tip Shark (if you're lucky) and of course the dozens of Black Durgons (Black Jacks).

• Japanese gardens runs along the side of Goat Island which is located at Speyside at the north end of the Island. As the name suggests this site is a veritable garden of coral's both hard and soft and the colors are exceptional.
• The dive begins in 50-60ft and curves around Goat Island, there can be strong currents on the curve so it is advisable to stay close to the coral and out of the main stream. Just around the curve there are some rocks that the diver must pass though followed by some small caves where Nurse sharks like to hang out. From here the current usually helps the diver along passing over large Brain corals and passing large schools of Jacks.
• As a matter of interest the house on Goat Island was once owned by Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond 007 books.

• Diving the St. Giles area is always weather dependent, so you won't know until you leave Man of War Bay if you will be able to dive these offshore rocks.
• From the surface, London Bridge is easily identified; the largest of a group of rocks to the north of St. Giles has a hole right through the middle like a polo mint. Half of the hole is above the surface and the bottom half is submerged.
• From the northern side, the entrance is wide; the bottom is at 35 feet and about 15 feet across.
• The base of the hole is made up of huge slabs of rock like a magnified cobbled street. As you begin to swim through the hole narrows.  Tangs, ocean surgeonfish, French angelfish, trunkfish and trumpetfish occupy the channel. The vertical walls are encrusted with yellow and orange sponges and probably a whole lot more.
• Green finger sponges, dark volcanic sponges, yellow tube sponges and giant vase sponges oblige many angelfish with a constant supply of food. Rock beauties, French and grey angelfish and a splendid pair of Queen angelfish go about their business without any concern for us. Because the area is not over-dived, the fish are not particularly shy and simply ignore divers.
• London Bridge combines an exciting and unusual submarine terrain with colourful interesting marine life. If the weather is right, it is definitely a dive to do!
  

• Located approx. 1.5 miles from land on the Caribbean side of Tobago are the "Sisters", a group of rocks about 100ft high out of the water. They sink down to 150ft around the rocks this creates a slope which is covered in soft corals; because of the distance from land and the depth of water large pelagic fish congregate here.
• On many dives we have seen Whale and Hammerhead sharks in the area and in the rocks live Turtles, Moray eels and Lobsters.
• There is a slight drift and this helps push the diver along as with all our drift dives the dive master carries a surface marker which the boat follows.
• Travelling by boat to sisters also gives the diver an opportunity to see the beauty of the Caribbean coast.
  

• Lying in 100ft of water is the wreck of the M.V Maverick, once a passenger ferry between the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago. The Scarlet Ibis as it was then called served for many years before being replaced with a bigger faster ferry.
• The top of the Wreck is 55ft and decent is down a line attached to the bow usually passing though a school of bait fish with Bonito fish darting in and out upon reaching the bow "Jacob" a resident Jew fish comes to greet the divers, weighing approx. 150lbs he is an impressive host to the ships tour.
• Because of the depth the dive usually lasts 30-35 mins and it is possible to penetrate the ship even as far as the diesel engine rooms. Reef building crabs, sennet fish and clams add to this interesting dive site.
  

Mt. Irvine Wall

• Mt Irvine actually has three dive sites, the "Wall" is a shallow 30ft dive close to shore interesting for the crevices where Moray Eels, Rock Lobster and Spiny Crabs live.
• Mt Irvine Extension is a deeper dive site following the outcropping rocks of Mt Irvine Bay, Large Grouper, Snapper and Hawksbill Turtles enjoy this beautiful reef which is big enough for several dives. A favorite visitor is the Spotted Eagle Ray, Although they tend not to approach divers they do circle and are often seen in pairs.
• Rainbow Reef is in the center of Mt Irvine Bay 50- 70ft, the reef is so named because of the schools of Rainbow Runner seen here, there is also a large fisherman's type anchor possibly 17th century wedged upright as if to stop a ship running aground!
  

• This is a great reef for beginners and as an orientation dive. The reef is close to Store Bay beach and is usually flat and has no drift, thus making perfect conditions for "Discover Scuba Diving" courses and other PADI training.
• The diver desends down a line into 18ft/6m on to a sandy bottom. Following the reef with sand to the right and coral sloping up to the left the diver decends to deeper water approx.40ft/14m.
• On the dive it is possible to see Moray Eels, Southern Stingray and Electric rays, Angel fish, Scorpion fish and many more types of reef fish. Trumpet fish can be seen here too even though they try hard to imitate the soft coral.
