About this dive site

This dive site, Wallilabou Bay, is famously known as a filming location for several scenes from the first 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie. Located on the main island of Saint Vincent, the bay offers an easy and accessible underwater experience. Divers and snorkelers can explore a magnificent reef drop-off that runs from the 'pirates arch' along the cliffs bordering the bay, navigating by following the vibrant reef structures.

The reef is abundantly covered in corals, providing a thriving habitat for diverse marine life. Notable sightings include moray eels, colorful angelfish, distinctive boxfish, and large schools of damsels. This rich biodiversity makes it an excellent spot for observing smaller reef inhabitants and their interactions, perfect for macro enthusiasts and general reef exploration.

With a maximum depth of 8 meters and an average of 4 meters, Wallilabou Bay is ideal for beginners, snorkelers, and freedivers. The shallow, calm conditions make it suitable for year-round visits, though the dry season (typically December to May) often provides the best visibility. Visitors should bring a camera to capture the vibrant reef life and the unique 'Pirates' set remnants found in the bay.
