Why dive here
With 266+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Scotts Head Pinnacle offers some of Soufriere-Scotts Head Marine Reserve's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Scotts Head Pinnacle offers a bit of everything for a relaxed dive. We usually start by dropping onto the sandy flats, keeping an eye out for Yellowhead Jawfish popping their heads from their burrows. The main attraction is the swim-through that carves into the volcanic rock, bringing you out onto a wall that doesn't drop too deep, maxing out at 21m. You’ll often spot schools of Creole wrasse here, and occasionally we’ve seen seahorses tucked away in the corals. It’s a good spot for divers who appreciate variety without needing extreme depths or challenging currents.
