south coast

The South Coast is bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and hosts the only true drift dives in Tobago. The dive sites are a mixture of coral reef, rocky ledges and wrecks, providing more encounters with Stingrays, Hawksbill Turtles and Nurse Sharks than anywhere else on the island.

Flying Reef

This favourite runs parallel to Tobago's runway and, with the right drift, will allow you to cover over a mile of reef during a single dive. Multiple sightings of Stingrays, Hawksbill Turtles and Nurse Sharks occur on this dive.

Cove Ledge

The ledge shelters Green Morays, Hawksbill Turtles and Nurse Sharks. Enough said.

Diver's Dream

A plateau 3km south of the airport, this site plays home to schools of Grunts and Snapper and provides encounters with Barracuda, Stingrays, Hawksbill Turtles and Nurse Sharks. Schooling pelagics such as Horse Eyed Jacks can also be seen here.

S.S.Kioto

Built in 1918, This 347 foot British merchantman met her end on the 15 September 1942 at the hands of Hans Juergen Auffermann, the commander of U-514. Due to the shallow depth, she has broken open over the years with the boilers and propeller providing excellent photo opportunities, as do schooling Barracuda and Nurse Sharks.
