Dive Information & Itineraries
Tobago Dive Overview
Tobago offers many experiences for the discerning diver. With Venezuela to the north and south of Grenada, this 22-mile long island is home to just over 70,000 species. But, its small size belies its big reputation for diving. With dive sites for every experience level, the mainly healthy reefs feature both hard and soft coral and offer the chance to view some of the largest recorded brain corals in the world. Most dives are thrilling drift dives fueled by the nutrient-rich Guyana Current and afford the opportunity to dive with pelagics–a treat for even experienced divers. It isn’t just the reefs that drive divers to this location, the marine life is also varied and abundant.
And Tobago’s northeast coast is home to the islands premier dive sites. It is also home to Tobago’s premier diver operator, Blue Waters Dive’n. Based at Blue Waters Inn, a small boutique style hotel on the beach facing Batteaux Bay with Goat Island and Little Tobago just offshore.Tobago is rightly famous for its giant brain corals, and the most famous of them being found at ‘Keleston Drain”, a short boat ride away. Manta rays, moray eels, barracuda and reef sharks are common sighting here too.
Dive Sites
Blue Waters Inn is lucky to have 30 plus fabulous dive sites 5 to 15 minutes away. Below is a quick peek at what to expect at some of their favorite local sites.
- Sister’s Rocks - A cluster of rocks some 1.5 miles (35 minutes away) out to sea offer some spectacular if challenging diving, and their distance from the shore means you may see large pelagic species, such as scalloped hammerhead sharks, manta rays and even whales on occasion.
- London Bridge - The reefs around St Giles Island can be subject to strong currents, and the London Bridge drift-dive is only for the advanced. Maximum depth is 49ft / 15m. Conditions permitting, you can explore the narrow underwater section of this rock arch, the top of which can be seen above water. The channel is frequented by trumpetfish, trunkfish and tangs, while the rock formations are dazzling, encrusted with coral and colorful sponges.
- Japanese Gardens - On the fringes of Goat Island, the Japanese Garden is one of the area’s best sites. Populated with green Hydroid Zoanthidsresembling Bonsai trees. With depths of 10-59ft / 3–18m, it’s great for all levels and, as the name suggests, boasts a rich covering of barrel, tube and vase sponges as well as the waving fronds of sea whips. A natural split leads to “KamakazeeCut” where you can get whisked through on the right current.
- Kelleston Drain - It is home to what’s said to be the largest brain coral in the world, measuring 3m high and over 5m across. The reefs around abound with swaying sea fans, sea whips and gorgonians; moray eels peer out from the crevices and barracuda cruise by. Maximum depth is 130ft / 40m.
- Bookends – Access to Bookends (30-120ft / 9-36m) is at the whims of the strong currents (we only dive here when conditions allow). Named for its two sizeable vertical rocks (bookends) poking out of the water. The site offers a breathtaking natural amphitheater nicknamed “Tarpon Bowl” in which enormous tarpon glide above a rich growth of Elkhart coral, sea fans and sponges, with nurse sharks resting on the seabed, 25m below.
- Black Jack Hole – A 40m sloping ridge thickly covered in all manner of corals (finger, pencil, plate and brain). Black Jacks make this area home –other common visitors include black durgon, boga, brown & blue chromis, wrasses,, green moray rays and black tip reef sharks. Also spotted are wahoo, eagle rays and dolphins who appear to play in the whirlpool of currents!
Local Wreck Dive: MV Trinity
In August 2016 Blue Waters Dive’nsunk the vessel ”M.V. Trinity" off the coast of Speyside, Tobago. The vessel is only a few minutes boat ride from the beachfront hotel, Blue Waters Inn, the home of Blue Waters Dive’n. The Trinity is the islands newest wreck dive and a welcome addition to the dive attractions of Tobago’s famed north coast.
The Trinity, a 100 foot, retired energy industry supply vessel has a beam of 30 feet and her wheelhouse stands 35 feet above her keel.
She was sunk between two reefs off the south point of BatteauxBay in 65 to 100 feet of water. Having been carefully prepared prior to sinking, this wreck is an ideal dive site for intermediate and advanced divers.
The M.V. Trinity was given as a gift to the people of Tobago to be used as a new attraction for dive enthusiasts by Blue Waters Inn. The hotels onsite PADI five star facility, coordinated the sinking of the wreck with local authorities.

Drift Diving Tobago Style
Diving off Tobago is affected by two important sea currents. The North Equatorial Current from the open Atlantic and the Guyana Current, which follows South America's eastern coast. The latter current brings with it the nutrient-rich waters of the Orinoco River. As these waters collide they generate rich ecosystems for the native sponge, fish and coral communities.
Around Speyside, currents are common, ranging anywhere from a leisurely quarter knot to swifter two or three knots. Blue Waters Inn is fortunate to have dive sites for all levels of diver, from beginner to advanced, and for many, a drift diving off Tobago is one of life’s “must do’s”! Many divers compare the diving to that off Cozumel.
