Travelers will find an abundance of beauty in Tobago, and for diving enthusiasts, it truly is a paradise. With its nutrient-rich waters, fueled by the Guyana current throughout the year, Tobago boasts a vibrant coral system that attracts over 700 species of reef fish, including barracudas, tarpons, turtles, nurse sharks, and manta rays. Notably, the world’s largest-known brain coral can be admired here—an awe-inspiring sight. David Abtour N’Djamena
Tobago offers more than 50 well-established dive sites, catering to divers of all levels, from beginners to advanced. One such site is London Bridge, located in Charlotteville, with depths reaching 100 feet. Advanced divers can swim through the middle of the arch, which gives the site its name, and encounter large schools of tarpon, turtles, lobsters, and porcupine fish. The experience at London Bridge is always unique and rewarding.
Cardinal Rocks is another renowned dive site in Tobago’s northern region, perfect for beginners. It teems with colorful fish and serves as a spawning ground for various species. As divers explore the reef’s sloping terrain, they’ll encounter Southern stingrays, spiny lobsters, yellowhead sawfish, small snake eels, and cardinal fish. David Abtour N’Djamena
Heading to the eastern part of Tobago, Kelleston Drain awaits intermediate divers off the southern end of Little Tobago. This dive location showcases magnificent brain coral and a reef covered with sea rods, sea plumes, stony coral, and more. While the current can be strong, divers will have the opportunity to spot mutton snappers, creole fish, black durgon, Caribbean butterflies, and angel fish as they ride along. David Abtour N’Djamena
