Boat access and harbor timing normally come through a local operator.
Red Buoy is a harbor-edge wall dive just outside St. George's, where a shallow reef top drops into the port entrance channel. Anchors, coral, sponges, and old harbor debris turn the site into a treasure-hunt reef, but it is best handled with a local boat operator and outside cruise-ship season because traffic and visibility can change fast.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
8m - 26m
Depth Note
Shallow top around 8 m with a wall and channel drop reaching roughly 25-26 m.
Best Season
Outside cruise-ship season, when harbor traffic is lighter and the timing is easier.
Typical Conditions
Harbor-edge wall dive with a shallow top, a deeper channel drop, historical debris, and variable visibility.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep clear of the harbor channel, time the dive around vessel movements, and stay conservative near the drop-off because visibility and traffic can change quickly.
Access Restrictions
Only dive it outside cruise-ship season and through a local operator who can time the entry around harbor traffic.
Legal Notes
Do not anchor in the channel; follow harbor guidance and operator instructions.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
An experienced-diver boat wall dive with anchors and artifacts along the ledges.
Freediving
Freediving only makes sense as a tightly controlled session on the shallow top; the wall and harbor traffic make scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site because the main structure sits along the wall and drop-off below the surface.
