Nevis / Special Interests / Scuba Diving

The diving on Nevis makes a good addition to an on-island holiday. There are about 40 dive sites off the island, mostly on the protected Caribbean side. These include reefs, and a number of wrecks, but there are also some more exotic things to do including the thermal vents which release hot and cold water off Pinney’s Beach.

Some of the best dive sites include Monkey Shoals, 3km west of the Four Seasons. Dives are up to 30m and angelfish, turtles, nurse sharks and extensive coral can be found here. The Caves are on the south tip of the island with a series of coral grottoes.
