What To Expect
Your day starts with a 8–9:30 am pickup from your hotel or cruise port. Next, arrive at Marigot Bay and check-in at the dive shop. After receiving equipment and filling out the required waiver, board the boat and head to the island's sheltered west coast for your dive(s). Your captain will take you to the best diving site for that day, depending on the water and weather conditions. The boat ride may be anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes. You may visit shipwrecks in Anse Cochon, or world-class diving spots like Soufriere, or Anse Chastanet. All of these sites are found in marine reserve areas. Upon arrival, spend the next 45-60 minutes diving the crystal-clear waters of St Lucia. Back on board, enjoy a light lunch and a drink. At the second site you will have 45-60 minutes to dive over reefs teeming with tropical fish or maybe the remnants of a wreck. After, make your way back to Marigot Bay where you will disembark from the boat and get dropped off at your hotel/cruise ship. Choose just one day diving, or a package of multiple days (1–5 days available). If you have your own equipment feel free to bring it, otherwise make sure to select the option with equipment included.

Four dives with Dive Fair Helen.

5.00Whilst on a recent holiday, I did two diving excursions ( 4 dives in total) with this company. Firstly, I required picking up from my hotel, which they were more than happy to do. Although I were a solo diver I were put with another solo diver, and we dived a wreck and a coral reef. The second set of dives I were put with a group and we all worked out our spacing, which was good. We dived two wrecks (in one dive), and another reef dive for the second dive. On both dives I were totally satisfied and have to say from the captain and the dive guides (dive masters. dive leaders) were brilliant. The pre dive checks (rules regarding coral, qualifications checks and BAR), dive plan and profile brief and air checks whilst diving were all present. The pace of the dives were perfect and at no stage did i feel rushed or out of breathe. The Iength of the last dive was 50 odd minutes, but it was in shallower waters, and we all came up with plenty of air in reserve. I won't go into the details of the dives as I don't want to spoil it for you, but I had a once in a lifetime experience and the scenery is stunning. I would recommend contacting the company directly, rather than using a third party, It was cheaper to do so. All in all, I recommend this company anyone that is thinking of diving in the area. Thanks for the experience.
Fantastic service - great dives 5*

5.00Great instructions to meet the driver at port (cruise stop) and taken to the boat where paperwork and equipment were sorted efficiently. Group a mixture of divers and snorkelers. 2x great dives - wall and drift. Value for money, great team and good equipment. Driver took us back to port after a drink in the bar. Fantastic 5*
Highly recommended

5.00Although we couldn't do the scuba diving excursion as our ship couldn't call into St Lucia on 2nd Jan, I got a very quick response from the excursion provider who said they will happy to process full refund (via viator) as ship wasn't going to make it to St Lucia. Whenever we come back to St Lucia, I would be very happy to book with this company again

5.00Great day out on the boat. Picked up from our ship and driven to a great location. Very efficient at checking paperwork to ensure appropriate diving experience for the group. Asked us what we wanted to do. Dive 1 - good local knowledge for 2 wrecks Dive 2 - A lovely drift dive The 2 dive masters who guided the dives were very friendly and knowledgable
research before you book, safety first!

2.00faulty equipment and lack of communication We are certified Advanced Open Water divers with over 80 dives completed, and unfortunately, we were disappointed with our recent experience diving with this operator. We saw the most beautiful corals on the first dive but the experience was tainted due to safety issues that came up: see below The boat was shared with a mix of snorkelers, beginner divers, and a discovery dive group. This dive trip was NOT designed with seasoned divers in mind. Our first dive at Anse La Raye Wall turned out to be a drift dive—a fact that was *never* mentioned in the pre-dive briefing. This is a SERIOUS oversight. the Dive Master never asked each diver for their PSI pressure during the dive—something we’ve *never* experienced before in over 80 dives. My husband requested to use a weight belt, but the Dive Master insisted on placing the weights in his BCD pockets. During the dive, one of the weights fell out, making it impossible for him to maintain neutral buoyancy and forcing him to surface early. When he ascended to return to the boat, it was GONE… we had not been told that this was a drift dive. Thank goodness he saw the DM’s buoy and didn’t panic because he had no immediate way to exit the water. I didn’t know what had happened and couldn’t safely ascend to check, as my depth gauge—provided by the operator—WASN’T FUNCTIONING. Thankfully, my husband was able to locate and follow the Dive Master’s buoy from the surface until we regrouped. When we finally returned to the boat, no assistance was provided in getting back onboard—a basic and expected level of support, especially when carrying heavy dive gear. Overall, it felt like the crew prioritized snorkelers over divers throughout the trip. The surface interval lunch was a highlight—well-prepared and appreciated. Unfortunately, the second dive at Anse Cochon was very shallow, murky, and clearly geared toward beginners and snorkelers. Visibility was poor, with little to see beyond bottom-feeding fish, grass, and sand. We truly hope this operator takes the feedback seriously. Improvements in pre-dive communication, equipment maintenance, and diver support are essential—especially when mixing experience levels on the same boat. **Disappointing Dive Experience Despite Beautiful Reef**

5.00One of the best dive experiences I’ve had. Gear was up to date, and there is an abundance of protected dive sites so you can find calm water. We did a pair of wrecks, which were spectacular, including one with a forklift sitting on the open deck, and then a reef dive right off shore and saw just an abundance of wildlife and coral. It could not have gone any smoother. They picked us up and dropped us off, and even served us a homemade lunch with fruit juice which was fantastic. 10/10.
Great dive company

5.00From the first time I contacted this company, they were extremely helpful friendly and very professional. By mistake I booked for the wrong day, a quick call and it was all changed to the correct day.

4.00The diving was great and Dillon was a very dive master. The only issue was the 40-45 minute trip each way to the dive boat on very narrow and rough roads!

4.00fairly long van ride to boat. It was a combined snorkeling dive trip not ideal. A little crowded on the boat.

3.00The tour crew at the shop and on the boat were great, but the dive guide never once checked in for air consumption (we ended on 200 - wow). I had a dive emergency when my integrated weight fell out and the guide was so far ahead I had to rely on my foreign (and wonderful) dive buddy. I can't say the attention to safety was satisfactory. Otherwise.... just fine...
