For safety and convenience, most scuba dives are drift dives in which divers drift with the current. The operator s boat follows along and picks the divers up where they surface. Other offered dives include shipwrecks and night dives. The Department of Fisheries sunk a 164-foot freighter in 1984 which makes for a exciting experience even for beginners as the dive starts at only 40 feet. Nearby is a 260-foot tanker that is popular with advanced divers.
All operators offer snorkeling trips to magnificent reef locations as well.
All are equipped with top quality equipment for you use. While in St Lucia why not consider enhancing your holiday experience with a visit beneath the surface of some of the most spectacular waters found anywhere. With scuba or snorkel you are sure to be treated to a colourful adventure that you will not soon forget. Copyright 2001, Soufriere Marine Management Association. All Rights Reserved.
