Why dive here
With 384+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Camps Reef offers some of St. Kitts's richest reef diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Camps Reef, off St. Kitts, offers a leisurely dive perfect for newer divers or those who prefer to take their time. We’ve found the volcanic reef structure here creates plenty of little nooks and crannies to explore, a good spot to poke around for lobsters or a shy crab. Keep an eye on the sandy channels too, we’ve often spotted stingrays settled there, sometimes a nurse shark taking a nap. The real quirk, though, is the hydrothermal vent, a little underwater campfire where warm water bubbles up – a strange, soothing feeling on your hands mid-dive.
