Tobago: Wind Dancer, 7 Nights

The Wind Dancer gives divers the opportunity to dive both the Caribbean and the Atlantic sides of Tobago. In the usually gentler Caribbean Sea, the offshore rocks and islets of the Brother’s and the Sister’s offer some of the Caribbean’s most exciting diving. These sites are known for the ability to produce sightings and encounters with creatures both large and small. Near Tobago’s northern tip is Speyside where the nutrient-rich fresh water from Venezuela’s Orinoco River meets the mighty Atlantic Ocean. The sites around Goat Island, Bird of Paradise Island (Little Tobago), Book Ends and Black Jack Point promise the opportunity to identify large numbers of species of fish on every dive.

Here the coral is in some of the Caribbean’s most prolific and healthy condition. Here too, you will get to experience exhilarating fast drifts on several sites. From comfortable drop-offs teeming with life to ripping two-knot drift dives with huge marine life encounters, Tobago satisfies all levels of divers. Divers will find some of the Caribbean’s healthiest reefs, huge sponges, the largest brain coral ever recorded in the Caribbean and an incredible variety of marine life – both big and small. The Wind Dancer features all the Dancer Fleet amenities divers have come to expect including Nitrox fills (addition charge), private en-suite facilities, spacious lounge areas, fine dining and more.

Itinerary

Saturday/Sunday: Departing the Port of Scarborough late on Saturday evening or early Sunday morning we will normally proceed in a southwesterly direction around the tip of the island (weather and sea conditions permitting), stopping at one of the many dive sites available in the area for an orientation and warm up dive, mandatory for all aboard.

From here M/V Wind Dancer will generally follow a northeasterly course up the Caribbean side of Tobago visiting dive sites around Mt. Irvine Bay and Culloden Bay, arriving at the protected overnight anchorage in Castara Bay.

Monday: From the anchorage in Castara Bay we access some of the Caribbean’s most exciting diving around the offshore rocks and islets of the Brother’s and the Sister’s. These sites are known for the ability to produce sightings and encounters with creatures both large and small.

Tuesday:  Continuing in the northeasterly direction we will arrive at our next overnight anchorage in the magnificent Charlotteville Bay. From here we will access the sites around the National Sanctuary of the St. Giles Islands where tens of thousands of mating sea birds call home. Sites here might include London Bridge, Marble Island, Three Rocks and more.

Wednesday/Thursday: We’ll round the northeastern tip of Tobago, where the mighty Atlantic Ocean meets the usually gentler Caribbean Sea and will then set a southeasterly course for the world renown diving in Speyside. The sites around Goat Island, Bird of Paradise Island (Little Tobago), Book Ends and Black Jack Point promise the opportunity for identifying large numbers of species of fish on every dive. Here the coral is in arguably some of the Caribbean’s most prolific and healthy condition. Here too you will get to experience exhilarating fast drifts on several sites.

Friday: Weather and time permitting, on our return to Scarborough we might get the opportunity to dive Pedro Point just outside of King’s Bay.
