    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Nature Island Dive, right in the Soufriere-Scotts Head Marine Reserve, is a pleasant spot to spend an afternoon. We often find yellowhead jawfish peeking out from their sandy burrows, quick to disappear if you get too close. Look closely along the rockier sections for candy basslets, their stripes really pop against the darker coral. It's a relaxed dive, good for getting reacquainted with your buoyancy or for photographers who like to take their time with smaller subjects. The currents here are usually pretty mild, making it a comfortable experience for most divers.
