I dived in Tobago in October 2005. I was lucky to be allowed to join the diving group that was ready to depart to Speyside Bay with Manta Dive on my first day. When I saw there were no seats left I suggested that I traveled at the back of the pickup car with the dive gear. One of our dives was spent looking for what is known as the biggest brain coral in the world (over 5 meters in diameter) to no avail, but while looking for the giant brain coral we saw lots of other interesting stuff. Visibility was around 10 meters and water temperature was 29-31°C. I had lived in Trinidad for a year in 1980 while working for Schlumberger and Amoco Oil and had come to Tobago on my first days off. The island is so developed now when compared to what it was, but still pleasant.
