About Bequia Head
Bequia Head is an exposed offshore drift on a steeply sloping reef off Bequia's northern headland. It is a boat-only, expert-level charter dive that rewards calm-weather windows with healthy coral, strong fish life, and big pelagics. Expect a negative entry, no moorings, and planning that stays tightly tied to current and sea state.
