Visibility not so good at shallow depths but clears up nicely when you go deeper. Lot's of small to medium size fish at Arnos Vale

Diver's Dream, Diver's Thirst, Maverick, a couple of dives in Speyside. Fish galore, lovely coral. No strong currents this time, although in the past they have been stronger. Very few divers around at the moment so I had the sea to myself.
The last dive was the best - SS Kioto. (See below: I couldn't work out how to add the name to it !)

Torpedoed, shelled and bombed in 1942, so very broken up in 10m. The bow, stern, propellers, rudder, engine and boilers are still visible, together with unexploded bombs ! Many nurse sharks, giant barracuda, rays etc etc made this lonely site the best dive of a great week.

Runoff from the Orinoco meant the top five metres were like green soup, and 33c, but underneath it was 29c and far better. Noticeable coral bleaching this year - time will tell how it recovers.

Slightly dissapointing visibility, but plenty of life and good drift dives

Loved it - visibility not always great due to Orinoco

Low vis at times due to Orinoco flow. Great thermoclines, good diving rather than spectacular. Adverture Eco-Divers highly recommended outfit.

reviews for Scarlet Ibis (M V Maverick): |
Easy dive, although current and visibility can be variable. Good cover of soft coral now. Easy and safe access to various decks, and if you are few in number and have reasonable buoyancy control the engine compartment is worth a visit. 30m deep, so watch deco time.

Nice easy Wreck dive, easy and large penetration area for calm divers. Advanced wreck skills not really needed. Good fun to dive. Adverture Eco-Divers highly recommended.

Dived with Frontier Divers, best dive operation in Tobago!! The viz was good and there was an adequate amount of life.

Marker buoy gone, so difficult to find the wreck. However, quite a good dive

This was a great wreck dive. We did our dives with Wild Turtle Dive - the first one was a slow deep dive to the bottom and keel...the nest dive was to the deck level only and we leisurely swam around it. Do on calm days and expect to see lots of encrustation and possible penetration.

Dived this wreck several times... Vis comes and goes, but always a good amount of fish life and an easy wreck for anyone penetrate.

Saw very little as the swell made vis nil. Very easy to pentrate though and there is a decent amount of fish life.
