There is a super place to snorkel just a 10 minute walk and several steps down to the beach from here, at Pirate's Bay, ask a local how to find it. If you want to explore, take a walk out to the site of the old Fort Campbell. It is left a ways.Last but not least, if you spend the night at a guesthouse here expect to hear roosters crowing very early in the morning." Kwoub at virtualtourist.com [2004]

Diving on Tobago tends to be centered at Speyside, almost diametrically across the island from the airport. This is a world-class diving home to the world's largest brain-coral, and the enormous number of manta rays that are frequently encountered.

The entire island has some of the best diving sites in the Caribbean. There are three wrecks located around its shores, but the one usually considered the best is the 'Maverick Ferry', which used to travel between Trinidad and Tobago. The ferry is 350 feet long and has been sunk in 30 metres/100 feet just off Rocky Point, Mt. Irvine. The top of the wreck is at 15 metres/50 feet. The wreck has an abundance of marine life, including a 4 foot jewfish, a member of the grouper family. The wreck was purposely sunk for divers, and so all the doors and windows were removed.

Tobago offers many wonderful spots for snorkeling. Although the reefs around Speyside in the northeast are becoming better known, Buccoo Reef, off the island's southwest coast, is still the most popular, which has led to damage by the ceaseless boat traffic and by the thoughtless visiting divers who take pieces of coral as souvenirs. There's also good snorkeling between the shore and Little Tobago Island and near the Arnos Vale Hotel and the Mt. Irvine Bay Hotel. Also recommended are Pirate's Bay in Charlotteville, Englishman's Bay and Great Courland bay.

The waters around the island are home to many species of tropical fish, rays, sharks, and turtles.  The Orinoco River pours rich nutrients into Tobago's waters, creating an underwater landscape that's healthy and vibrant. Plankton feeders such as the giant manta ray cruise these waters feasting on this smorgasbord. Depending on the season, visibility can vary from 30 feet to 100 feet, with algae in the water and manta rays around several months of the year.
