It is not uncommon to see Eagle Rays, Whale Sharks, Hammerheads and Giant Atlantic Manta Rays at various times year-round.

A semi-permanent colony of giant manta rays is a perennial attraction in Tobago. Though the migration patterns of this magnificent animal means that they are not always predictable, the likelihood is that you will have the opportunity to see them.

A complete marine eco-system representative of the Caribbean can be found off the shores of Tobago. As a diver you will be able to experience the nearly complete representation of the coral and aquatic life of the Caribbean marine system. This includes the world’s largest recorded brain coral, which grows just off the coast of Little Tobago Island (also known as the "Bird of Paradise Island", part of Scuba Adventure Safari eco-excursion tours).

You will discover that just below the surface of the sea, Tobago becomes a magic kingdom. The fingering and weaving of the offshore reefs surrounding the island, makes Tobago a divers’ (as well as snorkelers’) paradise. Tobago’s reef systems are a universe unto themselves. The diversity and richness is virtually unrivalled in the Caribbean.

The Manta rays periodically reside off the coast of Tobago and are an irresistible attraction to divers. These large creatures can be found with unprecedented regularity due to the plankton content of the water surrounding Tobago.

As a photographer you will need to bring a large quantity of film to capture this diversity of fish, eels, rays and large pelagics. The approachability and friendliness of the marine inhabitants will allow for some of the most outstanding photo opportunities. During night dives the activity of the reef seems to be endless. Filming and experiencing the thrill of nature at her wildest will only be surpassed by the beauty of the reef and your participation.

Tobago offers a number of excellent diving sites. However, there are several sites along the island which require an advance level of diving experience. There are dives with currents which exceed 8 knots and cause your bubbles to descend before they ascend!

Sites like Flying Reef and Divers Dream off the southern tip of Tobago will test your excitement threshold. The cross currents off the southern tip bring the largest animals. We caution you to be ready for the thrill that will make you pee in your wetsuit. Other popular dive sites are; Diver's Thirst, Cut-throat Cove, God’s Thrill, The Shallows, Mt. Irvine Wall, Book Ends, Coral Gardens-Buccoo Reef, Sisters, London Bridge/Marble Arch, The Giles, Englishman's Bay, Johnny’s Point and Speyside.

The 350-foot Scarlet Ibis, which once provided ferry service between Tobago and Trinidad, was deliberately sunk three-quarters of a mile off Mount Irvine and has already become an interesting dive location. A young artificial reef has taken hold on the "Maverick Wreck" and special host "JO JO", the giant Jewfish, doubles as a friendly guide on this multilevel dive experience! (60 ft-upper decks, 80ft-light penetration of cargo area, 100ft- maximum depth)

The "sisters islands" are reserved as our eco dive safari special knockout suprise! Galapagos like rocky outcropping cliffs and canyons are tapestried in a thick growth of healthy, colourful low profile corals and sponges. This site combines awesome blue water diving (2 minutes off shore) with spectacular tropical reef topography, an impressive abundance and stunning variety of marine tropical wildlife and large pelagic species such as rays and a variety of sharks including schooling golden hammerheads! The hammerhead sharks circumnavigate around the sisters rock islands during the winter months in large schools which give the "sleep swimming" giants safety in numbers.

What you will discover about Tobago beyond the outrageous diving, is the interaction of the dive operation and the development of diver education for the promotion of diver ecology. The local people and Scuba Adventure Safari have developed a relationship to promote tourism without destroying the natural tranquility of the island.

We promote the respectful interaction of our divers with the marine environment. As you will discover, our staff will assist you in this understanding and with the positive interaction with our unique system. We believe in the idea that divers are responsible and aware of the need for vigilance. We let you dive in complete safety yet with the freedom to enjoy the experience.
