1.
The Sisters rocks : At least three - four
good dive sites here, although if you see the hammerheads on the outer reef
first you will only want to do that dive over and over again !
Hammerhead Alley : this is the outer reef, at the main rocks,
it comprises great hard and soft corals and an abundance of small reef life,
there are also many turtles in the area and a few caverns and caves, lots of
big rocks that look like underwater mountains with sandy passages at around
80 -100 feet (25-30m) which the hammerheads seem to enjoy swimming around in.
Sisters Reef : This is the easier of the dive sites around the
sisters, we start at the north tip and work our way down the inside facing Tobago,
it is a gently sloping reef and it bottoms out at the top at around 100 feet
(30m).
As with most of the dive sites, we do this one at around 60 feet (18m). A great
dive for an abundance of reef fish and the occasional nurse shark, turtles,
reef sharks and some snappers, we often see the spiny lobster here.
The Little Sister : is a submerged rock, the tip of which rises
to around 30 feet (10m) below the sea surface, a great dive for the bigger pelagic
fishes, and snapper and groupers, the rock drops off to around 130 feet (40m).
Because of the entry and descent without reference I consider this advanced.
2.
The Brothers : A group of rocks closer in
to the mainland of Tobago than the sisters, it offers interesting topography,
the inside is just 50 feet (14m) deep and the outside and south part of the
rock is at around 100 feet (30m). There are some huge almost square and rectangular
boulders on which there is reef growth on the south side, and lots of fish holes
and small caves in which lots of life hide, carry a light !
3. Castara
: is a beautiful bay on the Leeward coast, the beach and
village is an excellent stop between dives on the side of the island. There
are a few dives here, but the most popular is the one at the northern point.
An easy dive with some interesting rock formations. Generally easy diving.
4.
Englishman's bay : is another very pretty bay on the Leeward
side of the island, easy to get to by sea, it offers a great view and very nice
beach for a surface interval. The northern side of the the bay offers a gentle
reef with lots of fish life and some great snorkeling, when the water is calm.
5.
LadyComb : This site can be done when the water is calm,
it can be great with the right conditions. It starts around 30 feet (10m) and
drops of gently to around 90 feet (27m). On the deeper side of the reef there
is sand and there are many pelagics that make their way in around the reef here,
we see stingrays and some sharks at this site.
6. Obeah
Man Point : An Obeah man is described as similar to a
witch doctor or a voodoo man !
The dive site here is advanced.
7. Gardener
Rock : This
rock rises from approx. 110 feet (33 m), and barely breaks the surface, although
it is clearly visible by the waves around it.
8. Booby
Rock ( Big Rock) : A
relatively easy dive site within minutes from the pier, because the prevailing
winds blow onto this exposed side of the bay the vis. is not always great here,
on a clam day it makes for a nice easy dive.
9. Pirate's
Bay Reef : A
beginner's dive starts from waist deep water, and one can follow a sandy bottom
with the reef alongside out to approx. 45 feet where the sand follows the reef
to the Charlotteville Pier. A very easy dive, with lots of critters and some
turtles and even the odd lobster. One of the few shore dives, always a favorite.
10. Landslide
/ Man Of War Bay Reef :
Another relatively easy dive site, although this one is a boat entry, the water
is usually calm and the dive is well suited for beginners, check out dives,
refreshers, and great for a night dive.
