It's a forty-minute boat ride from the diving center. We begin from a sandy bottom at around ten meters and then encounter a wall ranging from 15 to 36 meters. The wall is adorned with numerous corals, including barrel corals in various shapes, and black corals are also prevalent. You can explore small caves and occasionally pass under arches. The underwater world is teeming with fish, including a remarkable concentration of trumpetfish. In the crevices of the wall, you can find a plethora of small to medium-sized moray eels and even lobsters take refuge here. Schools of lutjans, butterflies, soldiers, and squirrels can be seen at the top of the wall, and we've even spotted a massive barracuda. This site was recently recognized by readers of Scuba Magazine as one of the hundred most stunning dive sites in the world.

Japanese Garden
rating : 4.0
description :
This site truly lives up to its name as an underwater forest. It features shrub-like corals whose trunks and branches sway to the rhythm of the ocean's waves. Among these, giant gorgonians coexist with impressive barrel corals, and there's a diverse range of hard corals as well. This vibrant environment supports a particularly rich marine fauna. During our dive, we encountered three stonefish, one of them being quite large. Additionally, we spotted numerous nudibranchs nestled in the soft corals. Squid, diodon, and porcupine fish, both juvenile and adult, also made appearances. This dive is especially suitable for beginners.

A forty-minute boat ride takes you to a 45-meter wall with a gently sloping sandy bottom. The plateau, situated between eight and fifteen meters, hosts a thriving population of typical marine life. On the wall, at a depth of 32 meters, we encountered an impressive lobster waving its antennae. Nearby, two exposed octopuses were trying, in vain, to blend into the pebbles. The barrel corals serve as a habitat for a large stonefish and diodon.

Bamberaux Wall
rating : 3.0

This site features a small, gently sloping wall, ideal for swimming between depths of ten and twenty meters. Barrel corals of all sizes, along with other magnificent coral varieties, adorn the wall. The marine life here is diverse and abundant, with lobsters finding shelter in small caves and crevices.

Bambereaux Drop Off
rating : 3.0
description :
An enormous underwater rock, surrounded by smaller rocks ranging in depth from three to thirty meters, offers a unique dive experience. Despite a very strong current that impeded our progress three-quarters of the way around, what we did see was well worth the effort. The site is teeming with several large diodons, a multitude of moray eels, trumpet eels, and schools of soldierfish, creating a captivating underwater scene.

The initial part of the dive involves searching for seahorses on the sandy, grassy seabed, where we were fortunate to find two sizable ones, measuring between 12 and 15 cm. They were truly fascinating to observe through a magnifying glass. The subsequent part of the dive takes you through an amalgamation of small rocks and corals, placed relatively close together. Virtually every type of reef fish can be found in this area, and while corals are scattered, they remain in good condition.

Our journey leads us to a 36-meter vertical wall, along which we swam for 20 minutes before returning. As we ascended towards the surface, we encountered a stony mass where the typical reef fauna thrives, though it's important to note the absence of parrots, a common feature across all sites in Saint Vincent. Regrettably, this dive was marred by the sight of numerous discarded tires, seemingly discarded from the top of the cliff.

Kingston Wrecks
rating : 2.0
description :
This site boasts three wrecks, including an 18th-century French frigate, all resting side by side approximately 30 meters from the capital's harbor in Kingston. The other two wrecks are cargo ships that sank in the 1970s.

Petit Byahaut
rating : 2.0
description :
A 30-minute boat ride brings you to this shallow site, around 20 meters deep, making it an ideal choice for a first dive after a long journey. Swimming against the current for thirty minutes reveals an almost flat seabed, rich in coral and reef fish, before returning to the starting point.

The pinnacle rises to a depth of 8 meters before descending to around 30 meters. We circumnavigate the pinnacle several times at different depths, enjoying good visibility. While the marine life includes plenty of fish, most of the fauna is on the smaller side, with a few exceptions like trunkfish and a moray eel. We encountered several schools of butterflyfish and fusiliers, as well as numerous trumpetfish, squirrelfish, and lutjans. The corals are diverse, plentiful, and generally in good health, although some "finger corals" have been damaged, likely due to the effects of El Niño, leaving remnants scattered over large areas.

We anchor on a sandy seabed. After about ten minutes with not much to see, we reach a wall ranging from 8 to 23 meters in depth. This wall is adorned with a diverse array of corals. The marine life here is both abundant and varied. Due to the strong and persistent current, this dive is best suited for experienced divers.

Sunset Point*
rating : 2.0
description :
The wall takes on a steep slope, with the lowest point at 38 meters. We traverse through a large area of dead corals (commonly referred to as "finger corals"). However, other corals appear to be generally healthy. There are fewer fish in this area, but we did spot two lobsters, a stonefish, and, as with other sites, moray eels and trumpetfish.

Critter Corner
rating : 1.0
description :
Of little interest except for its proximity to the diving center. On a sandy, grassy seabed, we spent most of the time crawling and didn't come across anything noteworthy. Even with a magnifying glass, our exploration yielded limited results. The strong current added to the challenge, but we did manage to spot a sole buried in the sand.
