Nag's Head

Nag's Head at the southern tip of Saint Kitts drops away in a classic Caribbean wall dive — the reef face descends from 12 metres to well beyond recreational limits, plastered with enormous black coral trees and wire corals that give the wall a ghostly, forest-like appearance. Strong upwellings from the channel between Saint Kitts and Nevis concentrate nutrients here, supporting an unusually dense fish population including large schools of horse-eye jacks that tornado around divers, resident permit, and the occasional oceanic whitetip shark in the blue water below. This is Saint Kitts's most adrenaline-charged dive.
