This dive site, Bequia Head, located off the island of Bequia in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, is renowned for its challenging conditions and vibrant marine life. It is exclusively for expert divers due to extremely strong currents and often rough seas, requiring a negative entry as there are no moorings. Divers navigate along a steeply sloping reef, experiencing a true drift dive. There is no historical information provided about the site's discovery or specific events.
The healthy reef at Bequia Head is teeming with life, featuring huge schools of fish that feed actively. Encounters with larger marine animals are common, with lionfish, various rays, and different shark species frequently observed. The description also highlights a 'beautiful healthy reef,' indicating diverse coral formations and other invertebrates.
Bequia Head is only dived in perfect conditions, making good weather and calm seas the primary highlight for visiting. Due to its remote location and challenging nature, it's typically accessed via private charter and undertaken as a two-tank dive. Divers must carry their own SMB, and the site is strictly unsuitable for beginners, snorkelers, or freedivers due to the extreme currents and conditions.
