Seahorse spotting on Young Island

One of the world’s most beautiful diving destinations, St.Vincent & The Grenadines is attracting an increasing number of dive visitors each year, with crystal clear waters, abundant marine life and untouched coral reefs.

If news that seahorses have been found in the Thames has inspired you to go diving, where better to find these beautiful creatures than in St.Vincent & The Grenadines? The destination offers fantastic diving, especially on the leeward coast, offering uncrowded dive sites and some of the best diving experiences in the Caribbean.

A good base for experienced scuba divers and snorkellers hoping to spot seahorses is Young Island, a truly tropical, 35 acre island resort 200 metres off shore from St. Vincent. The surrounding waters are particularly good for spotting colourful marine life.

St. Vincent & The Grenadines are part of the Windward Islands and lie 34km south of St Lucia and 70km west of Barbados. St. Vincent is the largest of the 32 islands and cays, which extend southwest down to Grenada covering roughly 150 sq. miles. The major islands, north to south, are Young Island, Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, Union Island, Palm Island and Petit St. Vincent.
