About This Dive Spot
Bequia Head is a challenging dive site characterized by steeply sloping reefs that reach a maximum depth of 40 meters (120 feet). This site is subject to strong currents and rough sea conditions, making it suitable only for expert divers and only under optimal conditions. A negative entry is required as there are no moorings available, and divers must utilize their own surface marker buoys (SMBs). The dive typically involves drifting along the reef, where divers can encounter a variety of marine life, including lionfish, rays, and sharks, as well as large schools of fish feeding in the area. Due to its distance from the dive shop, this site is accessed via private charter and is usually dived as a two-tank dive.
