Caribbean coast

The Caribbean coast stretches from Store Bay to Charlotteville and can generally be described as rock reefs with encrusting sponge and coral growth, but also comprises wreck diving (M.V. Maverick) and pinnacles (Sisters).

Kariwak Reef

Located in Store Bay, this site is quite often used for check dives or tuition. It is a good site to look for Seahorses and Frogfish, and is home to one of the largest Green Morays you'll ever set eyes on.

M.V. Maverick

Originally named the M.V. Scarlett Ibis, this car ferry once provided a vital link between Tobago and Trinidad. She now provides shelter for a number of fish and a playground for divers, since being deliberately sunk in 1997 as an artificial reef. Laying perfectly upright on the sea floor, she gives the appearance of still being underway.

Mount Irvine Wall

More of a picket fence than a wall, this site is great for searching out the unusual. We've seen more Frogfish and Octopi here than on any other site with occasional appearances by Seahorses and Bat Fish.

The Sisters

Cold upwellings from December thru April draw scalloped Hammerhead Sharks closer into these pinnacles. Averaging nine feet in length, an encounter with the 'big boys' is sure to make for a memorable dive. On the other end of the scale, keep your eyes open for the rare dwarf Angel Fishes such as Cherub Fish and Flameback Angels.
