Dive Spot Guide•
North-West Point
Healthy Bequia reef dive that changes with the current.
Local operator required
A local operator is useful because the site is chosen based on current and the drift can change the dive plan quickly.
Intermediate boat dive on a healthy sloping reef that can become a current-driven drift.
About North-West Point
North-West Point is a memorable Bequia reef dive that starts on a healthy shallow top and rolls down into a current-dependent drift along the slope. The site feels compact and lively rather than sprawling, with coral heads, boulders and fish life packed into a route that changes character as the water moves. It suits intermediate divers who enjoy a flexible plan, clear water and a reef that can reward a little current without turning chaotic.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Follow the reef slope from the shallow top down to the deeper section and let the current shape the route rather than fighting it.
Freediving
Not ideal for freediving because the site is normally handled as a scuba drift or current-sensitive reef dive.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site; the reef is best handled as a scuba dive when current conditions are favorable.
