Why dive here
With 384+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - SKOLD offers some of St. Kitts's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The SKOLD, a sailing vessel that ran aground back in '69, sits in just three metres of water, making it a cracking spot for snorkelers or new divers getting used to a wreck. We love how the shallow depth lets sunlight really punch through, lighting up the old timbers and the marine life that’s made it home. Expect to fin past parrotfish grazing on the hull, and look for juvenile snapper darting through the rusted metalwork. It’s a super relaxed dive, perfect for a long bottom time just poking around.
