StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Fairyland is a solid spot just off the coast in Soufriere. You'll drop down onto a sloping reef, often finding schools of Atlantic thread herring shimmering in the sun. We've spotted more than a few reef scorpionfish tucked into the corals, and the occasional banded pipefish if you’re patient and look closely. It’s a pretty easy dive, good for getting wet and enjoying the scenery without too much effort.
