Why dive here
With 384+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Hole in the Corner offers some of St. Kitts's richest cave diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Hole in the Corner offers exactly what the name suggests, a swim-through that delivers on a slightly different kind of dive for St. Kitts. Dropping down to about 23 meters, you’ll find the entrance to a sizable opening, less a tight cave and more a wide, dark overhang. Inside, look for schooling snappers and soldierfish hugging the ceiling, occasionally a nurse shark will be tucked away in a corner. It’s a good spot for intermediate divers who want a taste of something a bit more enclosed without any serious overhead environment. Just be mindful of a gentle surge that sometimes washes through.
