About this event
The Village Dive Club is going to Tobago!! February 20th - 28th, 2016
Come enjoy what Tobago is known for: drift diving! Float effortlessly as the current sweeps you past beautiful coral gardens and the largest brain coral in the Caribbean, measuring 12′ high and 16′ across. If we’re lucky, we might see a manta or a hammerhead shark! There are unique underwater rock formations and tunnels, black coral gardens and a myriad of fishes including pelagic and reef fish.
The island of Tobago is known for its lush rain forest reserves: take a walking tour and observe over 200 different species of birds, reptiles, and other native animals in their natural habitat. The island also has beautiful waterfalls: Argyle Waterfalls is Tobago's highest, tumbling 175 feet in a series of stepped cascades.
