Coral Gardens in Soufriere Bay is a reef site ranging from 5 to 27 metres in depth. Designed for intermediate divers, the site features sharp coral and rock formations that require precise buoyancy control. Divers must access the site by boat, as the area experiences strong currents that can shift in intensity and direction based on the tide. Visibility typically ranges between 19 and 20 metres. Due to the potential for strong currents and the presence of sharp coral, divers should maintain awareness of their surroundings and monitor their depth throughout the dive. Boat traffic is also present in the area, necessitating caution during ascents and descents.

The strong current can change direction and intensity depending on the tide, so ask your boat crew about the day's conditions before you enter. Keep well clear of the coral and rock edges when current pushes you toward the reef face.
