Why dive here
With 384+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - ROSAL offers some of St. Kitts's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Rosal, a cabin cruiser sunk way back in 1968, sits in just 2m of water off St. Kitts. It’s a site for snorkelers and very shallow divers, really, but don't write it off. We’ve found that decades of immersion have turned this old vessel into a proper home for all sorts of reef fish. You can fin right over the deck, peeking into what's left of the cabin, often spotting schools of juvenile snapper flitting in and out. It’s a gentle introduction to wreck diving, perfect for easing into things or just enjoying a calm, easy dive.
