Tobago offers some of the best diving in the Caribbean. It’s not the best known location, but the diving is world-class. The factors that create the wonderful aquatic conditions are the unique location of Tobago at the southern end of the Lesser Antilles chain of Caribbean islands.
The seabed surrounding all but the most northern part of Tobago is shallow – the average depth of the Columbus Passage is just 60ft (18m). As the Guyana Current sweeps past the rocky outcrops of the seabed, it creates spectacular drift-diving areas, particularly at the ends of the island.
The nutrient-rich waters of the Orinoco are directly responsible for the wonderfully diverse marine life for which Tobago is famed. The planktonic particles in the water are rich fodder to the sea life and have a dramatic effect on sponge colonies and sea fans in particular. The high nutrient level and strong current combine to produce bizarrely-shaped giant barrel sponges and massive brain coral colonies. In fact, Tobago lays claim to the largest brain coral in the western hemisphere. Located in Speyside’s Kelleston Drain, this massive colony is 10-feet (3m) high by 16-feet (5.3m) wide. Huge specimens like this may make brain coral the most memorable, but the waters are actually home to around 300 different species of coral.
This promises to be a trip of a lifetime.
