Dive-site story
Rising sharply from the open water off Tobago's northern coastline, The Sisters consists of five volcanic rock pinnacles that pierce the surface. These offshore islets act as a gathering point for pelagic wildlife and schooling fish drawn by deep, nutrient-rich currents sweeping past the rock faces. Divers descend along dramatic sheer walls and boulder piles covered in sponges and sea fans before drifting into blue water to scan for large predators.
Steep volcanic pinnacles plummeting into the open ocean
Frequent encounters with schooling scalloped hammerheads during peak months
Dynamic drift diving past giant boulders and overhangs covered in encrusting sponges
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Spring brings optimal pelagic activity, especially for spotting hammerheads, along with calmer sea conditions.
