About this site
Turtle Bar Reef sits off the coast near Basseterre, in the eastern Caribbean waters of Saint Kitts and Nevis. It is a beginner dive with a maximum depth of around 12 metres, making it an easy site to reach by short boat trip from the surrounding coastal towns. Divers have reported sea turtles here, consistent with the site's name, though other reef life is likely present as well. The shallow depth and gentle grading make it a straightforward reef dive rather than a technical or drift-heavy one.
