Saint Kitts and Nevis

Explore Saint Kitts and Nevis

St. Kitts and Nevis offer a dream Caribbean getaway for divers looking for untouched and uncrowded sites in warm water with crystal clear visibility anywhere between 18-30 meters (60-100 feet) throughout the year.

Bordered by the Caribbean and the Atlantic, divers can discover beautiful natural and artificial reefs close to the shore, dramatic topography and some unforgettable shipwrecks all bustling with marine life. With warm water all year round in a tropical climate, it’s a diver's paradise no matter the season.

There are plenty of options for divers here, with a decent amount of dive centers to choose from. Dive resorts are also available, but many opt for liveaboards in order to explore multiple locations. Because St. Kitts and Nevis are small, liveaboard trips tend to visit other nearby islands too, such as St. Martin and Saba.

Dive courses are easy to undertake around these islands, either at dive centers or resorts. Due to the number of wrecks, it may be a good location to get your wreck certification. It’s also perfect for beginners to take the plunge for the first time, thanks to an abundance of easy reef dives with excellent ocean conditions.

★★★★☆ River Taw Wreck, Saint Kitts

Large freighter which was rated by Skin Diver Magazine as being in the top 20 in the Caribbean. The 144 foot ship sank in a storm in 1985, and then, four years later, the sunken ship was broken in half during Hurricane Hugo. Max depth around 14 m / 40 feet. Nearby, there’s a van and virtually intact bulldozer.

★★★★☆ Ocean’s Paradise

Depth: 50 to 130ft/15 to 40m Along the same reef chain as The Rock, Ocean’s paradise is another great shark/reef dive. This reef has a few sandy spots where one will sometimes find sting rays foraging/buried up in the sand.
