Wind Dancer Moves to Tobago On September 27, 2003 , the
M/V Wind Dancer relocated from the Turks and Caicos Islands to Tobago
in the deep southeastern Caribbean where she where
she will be permanently based and where she will call “home”.
It all started for Peter in Tobago back in 1957 with his first
scuba dive off the beach of the beautiful Batteux Bay where he fell
in love with the ocean. He knew then it was going to be his way
of life. Peter reflects, "Back in the early 80's I coined the phrase
'still the way the Caribbean used to be'. Looking back, I probably
should have copyrighted the statement as it has now been used by
many since. But, if there ever was an island that deserved such
a description, Tobago is it."
Peter truly believes Tobago offers the Caribbean's most prolific
and healthy reefs as well as mountainous volcanic underwater formations
offering a kaleidoscope of color. From comfortable drop-offs teeming
with life to ripping two-knot drift dives with huge marine life
encounters, Tobago satisfies all levels of divers.
Divers should not expect 150-foot visibility in Tobago . These
nutrient-rich waters generally offer visibility of between 60 and
80 feet, excellent being sometimes 100 feet plus, but sometimes
dropping to as little as 40 to 50 feet. What divers will find is
some of the Caribbean's healthiest reefs, huge sponges, the largest
brain coral ever recorded in the Caribbean and an incredible variety
of marine life - both big and small. In other words, divers should expect plenty of excitement!
