Paddle the Seas of Montserrat – Scuba Montserrat offers visitors underwater views with clear bottom kayaks
Brades, Montserrat – August 20, 2009 – Visitors to the green and mountainous Caribbean island of Montserrat now have the opportunity of exploring the destination’s underwater world without having to get into the water. Scuba Montserrat, one of the island’s dive shops, now features Hanauma Kayaks that are designed with clear nylon skin that allows paddlers to view reefs, marine life and surrounding scenery.
The two-person kayaks give visitors the chance to paddle the seas of Montserrat and observe the island’s deep-water reef communities and view everything from stony ledges and copper sweepers to green turtles and colorful reef fish. With enough storage room for beach items such as towels, sunscreen and a good book, kayakers can also make their way to Rendezvous Beach, the island’s only non-volcanic white sand beach that is accessible by boat or a hike, or one of the soft pearl-grey volcanic sand beaches for sunbathing and relaxation.
Kayaks are available for rent from one to five hour increments starting at a rate of $15 through $65. Reservations are required and can be made by contacting Scuba Montserrat at 664.496.7807 or scubamontserrat@gmail.com.

About Montserrat
Montserrat, the only country outside of Ireland to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day as a national holiday, is a lush green and mountainous island of approximately 39 square miles that lies in the Eastern Caribbean chain of islands. Known fondly as the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean, this pear shaped island is a traveler’s paradise for nature lovers, divers, adventurers, family and villa vacationers, and honeymooners. This British overseas territory boasts the spectacular SoufriГЁre Hills Volcano, a modern day Pompeii in the form of its buried former capital city Plymouth, alongside lush, green mountains, world class nature trails, deserted dark sand beaches, untouched reefs and a quiet friendly charm reminiscent of the way the Caribbean used to be.
