Why dive here
With 384+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Anchor Point offers some of St. Kitts's richest diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Anchor Point is a gentle introduction to St. Kitts diving, perfect for those getting their fins wet or shaking off dive rust. We often bring our newer divers here, as the maximum depth of 18 meters keeps things relaxed. You'll likely drift over a sandy bottom peppered with small coral heads, keeping an eye out for southern stingrays tucked into the sand and schools of grunts hanging around the reef patches. It’s a comfortable, easy dive where the pace is slow, letting you really absorb the quiet Caribbean rhythm.
