Plongée à Tobago — Trinidad and Tobago

Tobago's Speyside coast is home to the world's largest recorded brain coral and regular manta ray encounters at cleaning stations — both rare finds for the Caribbean. The nutrient-rich waters from the Orinoco River outflow create an unusually productive marine ecosystem for this part of the world.
