Somewhere not far north of Soufriere lies a fascinating area for snorkel divers.

In this geothermal region if you swim out to the correct spot about 20 yards offshore you can find the Champagne pools. Here bubbles are streaming up from the sea bed. If you swim down to 3m depth yo uwill find the shimmy from hot water vents between the rock. This is an absolutely amazing dive. It can be tricky to find, but any of the dive operators in Soufriere should be able to give you directions.

Check out this footage, but I must point out that the bubbles were a lot more active when I last visited:
