About this dive site

This dive site, North-West Point, in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, offers an exciting underwater experience for intermediate divers. The reef starts at a comfortable 7 meters and gradually descends to a maximum depth of 20 meters, making it an accessible yet engaging dive. Navigation is relatively straightforward, following the reef structure downwards. The site's history is likely intertwined with the overall history of diving in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, but more specific information would need further research.

The reef is teeming with marine life. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of fish including filefish, trumpetfish, trunkfish, cowfish, morays, and spiny lobsters. Frogfish are also known to inhabit the area, hiding amongst the larger boulders. The coral itself is healthy and vibrant, adding to the overall visual appeal of the dive.

The best time to visit is likely during the calmer months, avoiding any periods of strong currents or inclement weather. Experienced divers can choose to explore the deeper sections of the reef, while less experienced divers should stay within shallower areas. Because of the currents and depth, freediving is not recommended at this location. A dive guide is highly recommended for a safer and more fulfilling dive.
