Scuba Diving

Coral Reefs teeming with fish and mysterious shipwrecks, make great diving off the north end of the island, where visibility ranges from 165 to 200 feet thanks to a natural filtering system of limestone and rich fauna.

Diving with Shanna's Cove Resort. This is not a certified dive shop, but Frank, one of the owners of Shanna's Cove, is a master diver and takes only up to four divers at a time—making it very safe for beginners and pros alike. Shanna's offers north Cat Island's amazing range of dives: from wrecks to walls, and reefs with amazing visibility, all from the 22-foot catamaran. Diving spots can be reached within 5 to 30 minutes.
