2010 World's Best Diving & Resorts: Scuba Adventure Safari & Grafton Beach
Resort

The reefs off Tobago are prolific with marine life thanks to the cross currents of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The nutrient-rich waters of Tobago are fed by Venezuela's Orinoco River, which washes around the Island and brings a rich payload of plankton and microorganisms. It is this unique "washing machine" effect that attracts large marine animals to Tobago. And Scuba Adventure Safari (SAS) is fully equipped to arrange the ultimate dive adventure. Scuba Adventure Safari's professional dive centre offers its guests a comprehensive recreational and educational travel and dive experience.
Guests are outfitted in the latest SCUBAPRO equipment and dive from SAS's 30-foot Island Hopper Pro-Dive Boat, custom-designed and fully outfitted. Onboard safety equipment includes: VHF radio, cell phones, DAN oxygen kit and medic 1st aid kit. Onboard conveniences include: freshwater shower, camera tank, tank racks, sun deck, refreshments, fresh fruits, dive ladder and platform. The licensed captain and PADI certified crew provide the safest and most luxurious dive experience in Tobago.
SAS visits some of the most spectacular dive sites on the island, where it is not uncommon to see eagle rays, sea turtles, hammerhead sharks, and giant manta rays at various times year-round. Grafton Beach Resort provides comfortable, flexible, all-inclusive accommodations and facilities with all meal plans offered. Set amongst five acres with lush tropical hills as a backdrop, the resort overlooks the Caribbean Sea at beautiful Stonehaven Bay, five miles from the airport and capital.
