Thompson Valley Island
Thompson Valley Island is located near South West Point and may be reached by boat in about 20-25 minutes. There are several tiny caves and reefs to explore, as well as a wealth of aquatic life, on this little island. The maximum allowed diving depth at this beach is 18 metters.
Thompson Valley Island is a canyon in Saint Helena that is 1096 feet high. Thompsons Valley is a short drive from High Hill House. The natural gentle stream that flows around this location starts near the Dockyard and softly brings you 100 meters to Banks Battery. Moray Eels can be found in large numbers (they can be aggressive during mating season).
The artificial reef is made out of obsolete automobile constructions and frame works that local residents no longer need and have graciously donated to the artificial reef. James Bay lies immediately to the west of the artificial reef. It has a maximum depth of around 30 meters and has attracted all forms of marine life found on the island, including native species such as Greenfish and Rockfish.
