Why dive here
With 384+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Anchors Aweigh offers some of St. Kitts's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
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.
