Customs House
Why dive here
With 384+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Customs House offers some of St. Kitts's richest diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Customs House is a pretty relaxed dive, perfect for warming up or if you're newer to diving. Dropping down to about 25 metres, it's a gentle drift along a sloping reef, mostly sand and scattered coral heads. We often spot garden eels swaying in the sand patches, and there are usually a few southern stingrays buried, so keep an eye out. It’s not a dramatic wall, but the soft corals are healthy, and it’s a good spot to just cruise and watch for smaller reef fish.
