Anchors Aweigh, despite the charming misspelling, is a genuinely interesting spot off St. Kitts. The seabed here tells a story, peppered with anchors reportedly ditched by ships fleeing cannon fire from Brimstone Hill. You'll weave through a series of coral fingers and sandy channels, spotting those encrusted anchors, now fully integrated into the reef with sponges and corals growing right over them. It's a relaxed dive, good for poking around, and a solid choice when you're looking for something a bit different from your usual reef exploration.
