Why dive here
With 266+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Soufreire Pinnacles offers some of Soufriere-Scotts Head Marine Reserve's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Soufriere Pinnacles are a nice, easy dive right in front of the village, perfect for a relaxed second or third tank. We’ve found ourselves lingering around the various coral heads and crevices, often finding little surprises like Candy Basslets peeking out. It's a shallow spot, maxing out at 19 metres, which gives you plenty of bottom time to hunt for macro life. Keep an eye out for Yellowhead Jawfish tending their burrows, and we've spotted a few different shrimp and crab species tucked away. Visibility here is usually pretty dependable, around 22 metres, making it a great choice for photographers or anyone wanting a chill afternoon dive.
