About this site

Shaab Claudio is a shallow reef in St John's renowned for its intricate cave and tunnel system, described as true 'cathedrals of light' where sunbeams stream through gaps in the coral ceiling. The shallow, well-lit passages are smothered in soft corals and alive with glassfish, making it a paradise for cavern and photography enthusiasts. Its gentle depths suit a wide range of divers under guide supervision.
