THE SOUTH END |

KARIWAK and BOPEZ are favorites for training dives and night dives. Both are shallow, sloping reefs with minimal current so they're great for new divers or those looking for nice easy dives with lots to see. FLYING REEF and FLYING REEF EXTENSION are both drift dives at the south end of the island. A 10 minute boat ride from our facility at Pigeon Point brings you round to the Southern Atlantic where the prevailing currents drift you along the reef from east to west. Sting Rays and the smaller Electric Rays can often be seen resting in the sand on the edge of the reef. MAJESTAN  probably has more Lobsters per square meter than any other reef around Tobago, but, they're for viewing only and are not destined to be covered in Garlic Butter. Nurse Sharks and Sting Rays also like to chill out here.

COVE CRACK is a site that deserves special mention for the myriad species you are likely to encounter on any given dive. The fish life is particularly prolific on this site; schools of fast moving Creole Wrasse, the slower Bermuda Chub tend to stake their territory and not move very far, Barracuda patrol the reefs keeping a wary eye on any intruders (such as a divers). DIVER'S DREAM and DIVER'S THIRST are aptly named sites for the more experienced divers. Conditions must be right to experience these dives because of the strong tidal currents that can sweep the area off the southern tip of the island. The ledges on the sites are perfect hiding places for Nurse Sharks and Turtles. Eagle Rays are often to be seen gliding through the area and Black Tip Sharks are not unusual visitors here. |
