Speyside Dive Sites
Speyside is located on the east coast of Tobago and it is here that the swirling Atlantic and Guyana currents converge. The Atlantic current brings clear, blue water to the reefs that is important for coral formation and growth.
The occasionally fierce Guyana Current bathes the reef in nutrient-rich water creating magnificent reefscapes and shaping some of the largest corals and sponges seldom found anywhere else. Mantas, sharks and a proliferation of pelagics often come to this area to feed. Sponges and corals grow to enormous sizes.
When these two currents merge, it generates some of the most exhilarating, adrenalin-pumping drift dives in the Caribbean.
