Best for advanced divers, 6-30m, boat entry, strong current.
Trou au Diable is a boat-access reef and wall site located 1000 metres offshore in Soufriere Bay. The site features a reef structure starting at 6 metres that transitions into a wall reaching depths of 30 metres, with an average depth of 15 metres. Conditions are defined by strong currents, necessitating advanced certification for all divers. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres, and water temperatures remain between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius. Due to the exposed offshore location and potential for rip currents, divers should coordinate with boat operators to plan for drift dives and carry a surface marker buoy.

Plan your dive around the current rather than against it, as drift along the wall is far more manageable than fighting it. Confirm current state and direction with your boat operator before descending, and carry a surface marker buoy given the exposed offshore conditions.
