St Vincent and the Grenadines offer some of the best diving waters in the world. The seas are warm and clear, the marine life is amazingly, plentiful and diverse, and there are dives to suit everyone from the beginner to the most experienced.
You can dive through teeming shoals of brightly coloured tiny fish, or rub shoulders with larger species such as barracuda, grouper, and parrot fish. And, if you have never dived before, there are qualified diving centres that can teach you everything you want to know.
The waters are rated so highly by divers because there is such a diversity of undersea experiences. You can snorkel in shallow, warm, crystal clear waters through shoals of rainbow coloured tropical fish, explore caves with lurking octopus and moray eels, and marvel at the colour and complexity of the extensive coral reels.
Another advantage of St. Vincent's coastline is its steeply sloping mountains which run straight into the sea, producing underwater cliffs, ideal for wall dives. St Vincent is also known for its black coral, which compared with many other Caribbean islands, lies in reasonably shallow waters so can be explored by divers of all capabilities.
This highly attractive coral is much prized for jewelry, but is protected around St. Vincent. The waters off St Vincent also boast a number of species of fish not often found elsewhere; these include high hats, Jack knife fish and spotted drums, and you will also see sea horses, blennys, angler fish and many others.
The diving off the Grenadines is, if anything, even better than off St Vincent, Bequia and the Tobago Cays in particular, offer spectacular diving.
