Why dive here
With 266+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Champagne offers some of Soufriere-Scotts Head Marine Reserve's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Champagne is an interesting spot, a little different from your usual Caribbean reef. The bubbles are definitely the draw, fizzing up from volcanic vents in the shallows around 5m. It's a surreal feeling, swimming through warm water that tickles like soda. Beyond the novelty, the reef itself has some decent pockets of coral, and if you head out onto the sand flats, we've had good luck finding things like flying gurnards and various nudibranchs. We’ve even spotted squid hanging in the shallows near the bubbles before. It's an easy dive, good for a relaxed afternoon, and the bubbles make for a rather pleasant safety stop.
