Bottle Reef and The Steps (below Fort Charlotte)

13° 9.3′ N · 61° 14.6′ W · approximate

Two dives under the steep cliffs below Fort Charlotte. Bottle Reef is littered with old discarded rum and gin bottles before the wall slopes away; The Steps is known for red-lipped batfish, yellowhead jawfish and flamingo tongues.

Practical

Coordinate is derived (approx): water just off Old Woman Point (Wikidata) below the fort, since exact site positions are not published. Described by Dive St Vincent. The sites lie on the Kingstown approach, so watch for ferry and ship traffic, and dive only with a local operator.
