Scuba Diving Trinida & Tobago
Diving Tahiti with Top DiveThe Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is an archipelagic state in the southern Caribbean, lying northeast of the South American nation of Venezuela. The two main islands are Trinidad and Tobago but there are also 21 smaller islands that make up the group. There is no place in the world quite like this tiny twin island republic of 1.3 million ethnically diverse people. Bursting with spirit and a heady mix of cultural activities, beautiful people, eco adventure and culinary delights, Trinidad and Tobago has something for everyone. Trinidad was once part of the South American mainland and boasts an ecological and geographical diversity unmatched in the region. Tobago is the smaller and more serene of the two main islands and is home to the oldest protected rainforest in the Western Hemisphere. The islands have two main seasons - the Dry Season, from January to May and the Wet or Rainy Season, from June to December. In the Rainy Season, mornings are usually sunny, followed by rainy afternoons and fair nights. The Dry Season is mostly sunny, with occasional light showers. This is the weather that makes Trinidad and Tobago the perfect vacation spot. Visit Wikipedia.org and VisitTNT.com for more useful information on Trinidad and Tobago.

R & Sea Divers- Tobago and R & Sea Divers is home of some of the best scuba diving in the Caribbean. The nutrient rich waters surrounding Tobago attract a wide variety of coral and fish life and the best examples of this species diversity can be found around the south western end of the island. Jewel-toned Creole Wrasse chase each other through schools of silvery Bermuda Chub over reefs covered with multi-coloured corals and sponges twisted and sculpted by the currents. Under the ledges, Morays and Nurse Sharks can often be seen.

Dive Sites
Tobago
At the south end of the island, drift along on Flying Reef past huge plate coral colonies and the "soft wall" of Bermuda Chub, keeping an eye open for Nurse Sharks and Sting Rays resting where reef meets sand. Divers Dream is ... well, a dream. Pelagics often patrol this area along the ledges and overhangs where Gorgonia growth is truly spectacular. The current in this area can be strong at times so this is a site for experienced divers. A little farther north on the Caribbean side the wreck of the M/V Maverick sits at 100ft/33m waiting to be explored.

Water temperatures range from "summertime" highs of 82F/28C to lows of 75F/24C in January and February. Most divers find that 3mm neoprene is sufficient thermal protection year round.

Trinidad
Trinidad is the only Caribbean island that does not have the clear blue waters typically associated with our location, this is due mainly to the emptying of the Orinoco river into our waters. The diving here has been compared by many as being similar to "back home" in England, or the lakes and quarries of North America. On the positive side the plankton and nutrient rich waters that feed into the Trinidad waters support some of the largest Manta Rays, Whale sharks and such marine life, not usually seen in the numbers that they are seen here, elsewhere in the Caribbean.
