The Pinnacles
Why dive here

The Pinnacles off St. Kitts give you a deep dive feel without the extreme depth. We’re talking about a series of volcanic spires that punch up from the seabed to about 26 meters, creating some dramatic topography. You’ll fin around these pillars, which are plastered with colourful sponges and gorgonians. Keep an eye out for schooling fish circling the peaks, and we often spot larger pelagics cruising by in the blue. It’s a great spot for advanced divers who appreciate a good current and the chance to see some impressive underwater architecture.
