Why dive here
With 266+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - L’Abym North offers some of Soufriere-Scotts Head Marine Reserve's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
L'Abym North continues the dramatic wall known from its southern sibling, but with a gentler feel. It’s a great spot for critters, the macro life here often steals the show. We’ve found seahorses tucked into crevices and frogfish blending with sponges on the wall, along with hamlets patrolling their territory. This site is quite protected, close to shore, making it comfortable for all experience levels, with a maximum depth of around 20 metres. Visibility usually sits around 22 metres, making it easy to spot the occasional turtle gliding past.
