What To Expect
From your hotel or cruise port you will be transferred to Marigot Bay for check-in at the dive shop. After receiving equipment and filling out the required waiver, you will board your boat and head out from to the island's sheltered West Coast. Depending on the water and weather conditions that day, your captain will head for the best diving site. This may be anywhere from a 15 to 45 minute boat ride. You will visit reefs either at Anse Cochon or Soufriere Beach. All of these sites are found in the marine reserve areas along the sheltered West Coast of the island. Upon arrival, spend approximately the next 45-60 minutes diving the crystal-clear waters of St Lucia. These beginner dives are up to 45 feet deep. After the dive you'll head back on board the boat, where a full lunch will be served. Snorkelers are also on the same boat but are not grouped together as each has their own tours and guides. All dives are carried out in the marine reserve areas, and are supervised by staff dive masters and instructors; this aids in diver safety and environmental awareness. After lunch, you'll be brought back to the dive shop and from there transferred back to your hotel or port.

5.00Awesome experience! I had been diving before, but my husband was trying it for the first time. Andre, Alvn, and crew were kind, fun, safe, and this was incredible! Beautiful fish and reefs- we loved it! We went with some certified divers on the experience as well, and Alvin took us for an extra dive at low cost! Highly recommend!
Top notch operation

5.00Fair Helen took us out for a scuba beginners course. We’ve done 2 of these with on other trips to the islands but these guys were the best. Marcus and the Captain were very thorough, patient, informative and most especially attentive. We started out in a pool at JJ’s then took the boat out to Anse Cochon where we dove on a beautiful shoreline reef at around 30 feet or so for approximately 40-45 minutes. Lunch provided and was delicious.
Good scuba training,...

5.00An excellent experience, great value for money and a really well organised trip! We were picked up from our hotel promptly and travelled to the Scuba Diving location, it was quite a long drive but the car was air conned and the man (can’t remember his name but he took us diving) was very friendly and told us lots of things about the island. This was our second time scuba diving and we felt very safe the whole time and appreciated the practice in the pool beforehand, all the equipment was of good quality and it was just myself and my husband doing the diving together which made it nicer too. We got on a boat and travelled to the first location to dive, it was great as we could sit on the front and see the beautiful Marigot Bay. The first dive was great and I had issues with my mask but all was resolved quickly and we got on with the dive which was an hour, such good value for money! Saw so many fish. Then we had lunch which was delicious and nice to taste local flavours, there were also unlimited soft drinks too. Then onto the snorkelling experience after lunch where Lucky was our guide and he is part fish, he was swimming around showing us so many amazing creatures and sealife, he even swam to the ocean floor to pick up dead Sea urchin remains for us to take home. We saw pufferfish, red snappers, starfishes and so much more! Safe to say we were exhausted come the end but had so many amazing memories from the day. Well worth it! We were out for around 6 hours!
Fantastic

5.00This was amazing! The dive master and his crew are all so friendly, informative, and incredible people. We had the chance to dive and snorkel, tons of added bonuses. The homemade lunch was so tasty. Our dive master taught us all kinds of stuff, and the whole team pointed out all kinds of neat stuff in the ocean. I don’t know how there is a single negative review, from pick up to drop off - this is one of our favorite excursions ever.
A Must-Do Experience!

5.00We had an incredible time on our scuba diving excursion—hands down one of the highlights of our trip. Alvin and the captain were absolutely phenomenal. Alvin in particular was not only a skilled dive master and instructor, but had a calming presence that made everyone in our group feel completely at ease, regardless of experience level. The dive itself was unforgettable. Stunning underwater views, vibrant marine life, and an up-close and personal look at the ocean world. Alvin was informative, engaging, and shared so much insight about both the island and the dive sites. This was the kind of experience that felt personal, professional, and adventure-filled all at once. We’ll absolutely be back and would recommend this to anyone looking to explore the beauty beneath the surface. Five stars all the way!
Awesome

4.00Absolutely loved the experience. I wish they would've told us that we would be snorkeling and diving rather than just diving which is why i rated this a 4. The snorkeling was beautiful but just so happened to be the identical location we were in the day before. We were advised we would be snorkeling prior to diving on the boat out to the site. Not ideal. We would've brought our own snorkel masks if we knew. The masks are older and leak slightly. The pook review could be done in the shallow portions of the ocean. Less painful on the knees and less confusing. Otherwise beautiful trip. Very patient dive masters.
Scuba diving ticked off the bucket list
