Tent Reef Deep
Why dive here
With 384+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Tent Reef Deep offers some of St. Kitts's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Tent Reef Deep sits at 23 metres, a comfortable depth for intermediate divers looking for a bit more than a shallow drift. We often find nurse sharks resting under the ledges here, and the resident southern stingrays are usually easy to spot gliding over the sand patches. It’s a good spot to really slow down, keep an eye out for moray eels poking their heads from the reef, and watch the schooling Creole wrasse shimmer in the blue. For divers who appreciate a relaxed pace and a healthy chance of encountering bigger reef residents, Tent Reef Deep delivers.
