The Vents Dive Site, St Kitts, is located about 1 mile out of the harbour. A large semicircular hollow sits in the centre of this reef. As you swim in the water, the temperature becomes warmer and you feel a plume of 90 degree water coming up from the geothermal vent somewhere deep below the earth.
You will find an abundance of small fish and maybe the occasional Lobster or Moray Eel hiding out among the Coral..
