Undersea Tobago Ltd.

I had a great time diving with Undersea Tobago and would recommend them to divers whether experienced or not. The Undersea Tobago diveboat is moored in the Coco Reef hotel's swimming lagoon so getting on and off the boat is very easy; the dive shop is a few yards away on the beach. Marlon and Ellis, the divemasters, were helpful, knowledgeable and great fun. They assisted those who wanted help with their kit but stood back for those happy to assemble their own. With fairly strong currents and surface swells on most dives, the dive entries and exits were well choreographed and managed. During my stay we only dived at the southern end of the island (will have to go back another time to dive Speyside!) but there's a lot to see. The drift dives (such as Flying Reef, Cove and Runway) are quite fast so you need to concentrate hard on staying in touch with the rest of the group whilst appreciating the abundant soft coral and marine life. The Maverick is a simple dive and a good introduction to wrecks. The diveshop provides clean rinse tanks and hanging/drying space for kit, and secure overnight storage. I'd recommend wearing a full wetsuit (3mm+) as though the water is warm on the surface, it can get chilly on a morning 2 tank dive trip.
