About this site
Black Coral Reef is a reef dive off St Kitts at depths of 15 to 30 metres, named for the black coral trees that protrude from a mini wall. The reef is very healthy and full of surprises.
The coral trees are the main attraction along the wall. Creole wrasse and snapper frequent the edge of the wall, and grunts are common here, with lizardfish stalking them.
