St Barts Snorkeling and Scuba Diving

Lorient beach
A great place to see sea turtles.

Colombier beach
About a 15 minutes hike from Flamands. Snorkel to the far right (when you are facing the ocean).

Petit de Anse
Just past Flamands. There are stone steps leading to the water. A good place for turtles and parrotfish.

Forchue Island
A dive boat destination - the best snorkeling on SBH is actually not on the island - take a half day boat trip with one of the island's dive companies to an underwater nature preserve to experience the best snorkeling.

Excellent dives can be had around St. Barts (but not from shore -- you'll need to book with one of the island's dive companies). Expect to see sea turtles, barracudas, angel fish, eels, tarpoon fish, spiny lobsters and an amazing display of colorful coral.

For those who have never scuba dived before, you can take a guided dive with a dive professional which is a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend
