Dive Centre

Vanguard Tobago Golf & Spa Resort has the ultimate adventure for SCUBA enthusiasts with our diving package. Located on the VHL Tobago Golf & Spa Resort premises, the World of Watersports is a PADI 5 Star Gold Palm IDC Centre which was awarded Dive Operator of the Year in 2002. Situated on Pigeon Point, Tobago's most renowned beach, we also feature the Club Mistral Windsurf Center.

Our diving clients are treated to a 34-foot custom built dive/snorkel boat which has twin engines, SCUBA tank racks with bench seating, an on-board toilet facility and a side door for giant stride access in and out the boat. We also have three other dive boats fitted with canopies and twin engines. Our instruction ranges from the beginner level to assistant instructor training. Tobago's wide array of dive sites are diverse enough to accommodate all levels of diving.

We have an air conditioned shop, which is filled with Mares, Scubapro and Scuba Innovations equipment, as we are dealers in all these manufacturers and more.  The shop is also fitted with DVD player and TV for training purposes.  We have access to our own dedicated swimming pool (the ONLY one of its kind on Tobago) where all of our pool work is completed, and also have a locked wet room capable of dealing with in excess of 20 divers.  A complete range of new dive equipment is available, including wet suits, bcd's, fins, masks, snorkels, computers, etc.  In fact everything you need to go diving and have fun!  Our onsite compressor provides us will all the tank fills we need, and if you are interested in Nitrox, then this can be supplied too.

Our dive schedule at VHL Tobago is a two tank dive from 9:00am in the morning, and an optional extra dive or snorkel in the afternoon, every day of the year, plus night dives when requested at 6:30pm.  We recommend our clients to arrive about 30 minutes before departure to allow for paperwork and equipment preparation.  Once we reach the jetty to meet the boat, the dive equipment will have been already loaded aboard, on one of our specially designed dive boats, for the short journey to the dive site.  There are some 20 dives in the southern area of Tobago, ranging from Drift Dives, Wreck Dives and pelagic orientated dives, just about everything you may be looking for.  The boat stays out between the first two dives of the day, to give you a chance to take a break, have a drink or fresh fruit which we provide, before the second dives of the day.

Dive Packages

If you are a scuba diving enthusiast vacationing with non-diving family members, we offer a wide range of water sports activities including boogie boarding, snorkeling, banana boat rides, doughnut rides, wakeboarding, waterskiing, windsurfing, Hobie cat sailing and kayaking.

We can arrange your accommodation plus diving package with Vanguard Hotel, or many other places, with which we have negotiated special rates, so that you not only save on diving, but also on the accommodation too!  For more information on this hotel, email us at info@worldofwatersports.com.
