The Sisters

The Sisters dive site is a world-renowned dive site that is located approximately 1.5 miles from land on the Caribbean side of Tobago. It is a stunning rock formation made up of 5 pinnacles, rising from a depth of more than 40m under the surface. These 5 pinnacles come out of the water and are almost 30m high. These rocks act like a slope providing the perfect home for soft coral. As this dive site is located quite a distance from land and has quite a depth, large pelagic fish congregate here, providing amazing sites for divers. Hang around the overhangs and caverns and you’ll see Hammerhead Sharks, Nurse Sharks, Stingrays and if you’re really lucky, you may see Whales, depending on the time of year. Turtles, Moray Eels, and Lobsters can be found around and within the rocks.

Around the base of the pinnacles are large boulders and rocks, which have sand chutes running between and around them, and the hammerheads can be found cruising in this particular area. Due to its location, the Sisters is often subject to strong currents, large swells, and unpredictable weather patterns, making it suitable only for experienced divers not averse to dropping to the limits of recreational diving and coming into close contact with big pelagic fish. These conditions can render the Sisters undrivable at times, but if you are lucky enough to choose a day when it’s all systems go, you’re in for the dive of your life.
