TobagoDiving Holidays in Tobago

Made up of hundreds of islands of various sizes the Caribbean island chain has a total landmass of a little over 18,000 square miles, that's less than Great Britain. These tropical islands stretch along a curved line of almost 4000 km in length from the Florida peninsula and the north eastern coast of Venezuela They are divided into several island groups: mainly the low lying sand and coral spits of the Bahamas and Florida keys, and the more mountainous volcanic formed Lesser and Greater Antilles. The Lesser Antilles are comprised of the Windward Islands to the north east know as the Hurricane belt and the Leeward Islands to the more sheltered south. It is here at the southern most tip of the chain that you will find the tropical paradise of Tobago.

The Nabucco Resort - Spreyside Inn

TobagoOn the edge of the quaint Speyside fishing village lays The Nabucco Resort Speyside Inn a charming seafront hotel with 21 sea view rooms. All guestrooms feature en suite, bathrooms and balconies overlooking the sea. The Nabucco Resort offers the ideal vacation for scuba divers and for nature-lovers in general. The hotel not only takes great pride in its personal service and fine cuisine but also provides our guests a haven in which to unwind, relax and soak in some authentic Caribbean atmosphere. Whether you chose to explore the forests or ocean by day, at night, dine under the stars on the romantic sea grape terrace and indulge in a pina colada.

Out in the bay, the waters around Little Tobago Island, a noted seabird
Tobagosanctuary, and Goat Island offer some of the most exciting diving in the Caribbean. An amazing variety of corals and sponges and brilliantly coloured reef fish will leave divers amazed. Behind the Inn rise the foothills of Tobago's highest mountain. Exotic hummingbirds and butterflies adorn the flowering plants thrive in its tropical rain forests and around our terrace.

 

 

The Diving

TobagoThose of you who have dived elsewhere in the Caribbean will be amazed at the richness and diversity of Tobago's reefs and prolific fish life. The Speyside dive centre offers three daily dives to the nearby dive sites of the Caribbean. It takes no longer than 5 minutes to reach most sites. Special excursions are arranged to further sites such as Sisters and London Bridge. Dawn dives and night dives are available. Due to the currents most of the dives are performed as drift dives and all divers are provided with safety markers. Dive sites are chosen according to the weather conditions and the experience of the divers on a daily basis. All dives are guided by experienced Instructors or divemasters. A private guide and boat can be booked on request. Check dives and refresher courses are available in sheltered shallow bays. Guests staying at Speyside Inn are also offered full day excursions to the Southern tip of the island where they can dive with Extra Divers Crown Point.
