Although Tobago is just 25 miles in length, local geography make it impractical to stay in a Crown Point hotel and carry out regular day dives in the Speyside area, although local day trips may be available. Twin centre stays can also be arranged to make the most of the diving each end of the island has to offer.
Diving in Tobago is offered as boat diving. Dive centres typically use locally designed boats, which offer shaded bench seating and a cylinder rack down the centre of the boat. The boats are fast and manoeuvrable, giving swift access to most dive sites. A limited amount of shore diving is available at the Crown Point end.

Undersea Tobago
Undersea Tobago are located at the Coco Reef Resort in the South West of the island. This is about 5 minutes drive from the lively Crown Point area and 20 minutes from Grafton Beach in the Black Rock area further up the coast. Owned and managed by local husband and wife team of Derek & Evelyn Chung, the PADI resort is long-established and has a very experienced dive crew. They offer daily boat diving, departing from the resort, off the south of the island and along the Caribbean coast. They offer a full range of PADI courses and provide transfers from your chosen accommodation.
The conditions on the Caribbean coast and southern Atlantic Ocean are moderate all year round and offer perfect conditions for both training, less experienced divers and divers wishing to concentrate on their photography. The diving on the southern end of the Atlantic Ocean (Columbus Channel) offers a bit of current on a shallow fringing reefs with lots of sponges and fan corals. This is good for novice and intermediate divers. Big stingrays and nurse sharks are frequently seen there. One of the most popular dive site on the Caribbean Sea is the Maverick wreck. This is a former car ferry, which has been resting for more than 20 years in 30 meters depth near Mt. Irvine Bay.
Please note that it is possible to do a 2 centre holiday, diving with both Undersea Tobago and Extra Divers. Ideal for those who wish to experience both Caribbean and Atlantic diving.
The dive centre will transfer divers staying at any of the hotels in this area including Shepherd's Inn to where their boats depart.
