Bequia

St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a veritable diver's paradise, with Bequia diving regarded among the best in the Caribbean by many. There are over 30 great and easily accessible dive sites in the crystal-clear waters around the island or within easy reach, giving drift dives with fascinating tunnels and holes, walls and overhangs, all alive with spectacular coral formations and marine life. The shallow waters are home to seahorses, pipefish, and batfish, amongst others. Wreck and night dives are also available for the more experienced diver.

All of Bequia's dive shops offer snorkeling expeditions, with equipment available for hire or purchase, for those seeking a slightly less daring but no less intriguing experience. A magnificent undersea world is simply waiting to be found. Bequia has two PADI dive shops, both of which are well equipped and offer year-round teaching for divers of all skills and ages.
