Diamond Rock
Why dive here
With 384+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Diamond Rock offers some of St. Kitts's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Diamond Rock is a proper pinnacle, rising from 24 metres to just kiss the surface. We usually drop in around the deeper base, drifting up its flanks as the dive progresses. Keep an eye out for schooling horse-eye jacks circling the rock itself, and the smaller crevices often hold moray eels peeking out. It's a nice intermediate dive, a solid choice for those comfortable with a bit of current who want something a little different from a wall or a flat reef. The light plays beautifully off the rock face when the sun is high, a great spot for some photos.
