St. Vincent and the Grenadines have both exceptionally white and volcanic black sand beaches. The waters off these coasts offer perfect diving and snorkelling opportunities.
 | There is reef diving, wall diving, and drift diving in this area. The waters offer excellent visibility and a wide variety of fish and coral reefs in these waters. Corals include colourful sponges, soft corals, Elkhorn coral, branching gorgonian and black corals that are available at a depth of around 30 ft. |
Also a few sunken wrecks to explore that enhance the delight of the divers in this area. The St Vincent reefs are fairly deep ranging in depth from 55 to 90 ft, so scuba diving is a rewarding option. The islands provide all the facilities for diving including instructors for novices.
New Guinea Reef, on Petit Byahaut, has three types of black coral in six different colours. The coral is protected so do not remove any. There's a range of dives for any level of experience.
Owia Bay, in the northeastern corner of St Vincent, has good tidepools and a popular swimming hole.
Lower Bay, at the southern end of Admiralty Bay on Bequia, offers some of the island's best swimming and snorkelling. Canouan, midway in the Grenadine chain, has beautiful beaches and great reefs for snorkelling.
There is snorkelling and diving around most of the other islands with at least a dive shop on each inhabited island. Some companies, and most of the hotels offer equipment and services to interested divers and snorkellers.
