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.

5.00Our first dive was perfect. Crew were very professional and patient. In just a few minutes we were in the water and never felt unsafe. Beautiful coral and wildlife.
They need to post restrictions on the website so that people are aware before paying for the full service.

4.00We weren’t told ahead of time that if you’re on blood pressure meds you need a doctors note to dive. We could only snorkel.
Found peace underwater.

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.
