Northeast Tobago Dive Sites: *London Bridge Rock The forces of the ocean designed a natural arch bridge amidst the swirling currents off Charlotteville, on the north-west coast of Tobago, a porthole to a new dimension. Until you have experienced London Bridge you have missed out on the island’s alter-ego. The natural rock arch crowns a large ocean pinnacle which rises up from a depth of 100ft. Dive groups may ride the surging rapids in a single file through the porthole arch, then drop with the drift and enter a cosmic realm reminiscent of mountains of the moon! After a mystical period of hovering in the open water, one then drops to 80 ft and rides the prevailing current around canyons and folds of the pinnacle base.Visiting this dive site depends on the weather. When you arrive the dive master will determine if the conditions (waves, surge and current) will make the dive through the arch safe. The arch is covered with colonies of brain and star corals. Sponges make their home on the vertical walls while tangs, angelfish, trunkfish and trumpetfish lay claim to the waters at the mouth of the arch. This rocky reef is also home to moray eels, lobster and schools of jacks. *Sleeper 7 This reef has it all from shear walls and long slopes to level plains and striking canyons along with abundant marine life. *Aquarium This site is loaded with fish, which explains its name. It features black durgeon, glassy eyed snapper, and angelfish to name only a few of the species found here. It`s a spectacular drift dive. This reef is very versatile. The gently sloping area of the reef is perfect for navigational training. Depths start as shallow as 12 ft and go all the way down to 150 ft. But look out for those changing currents! *Grand Canyon We usually plan this as an early dive because the rough surface conditions usually worsen during the day, and it is a deep dive. Vertical walls with striking overhangs and drop-offs create an interesting underwater seascape featuring abundant marine life. *Angel Reef This reef is shallow enough for snorkelers and glass-bottomed boats, but is also used as a dive site. It is located just off Goat Island, where Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond 007 novels, used to own a house. *Japanese Gardens This site gets its name from the sea whip corals which resemble Japanese bonsai trees. It seems almost as if a Japanese artist sat down and painted his royal garden. This site features many hard and soft corals. It is a shallow sloping reef that begins at 30 ft and tumbles down gracefully to 100 ft. Just when you are sure that your leisurely visit is complete, we encounter the ``Kamikaze Cut.`` The current picks up speed and you come barreling down towards two huge boulders, sure that the coming impact will spoil your day. But wait, you discover that a crevasse has been cut through the rocks and you pass between them, slow down, and find yourself returned to the calm and tranquil waters of Tobago. ...and many more!
