The diving in general was a little below what we have experienced in previous visits. The main cause being the reduced visibility from heavy rain on several nights. The rain also restricted us to a reduced choice of dive sites. Both sides of the island were affected, Charlotteville and Speyside. Diving here is from small open boats with sites from 5 to 30 mins away.
All dives are drift dives with the dive master holding a float and the boat following the float.
Water entries are made by all divers doing a back roll at the same time. Dives had a 50 min bottom time limit plus a 3 min safety stop, if you run low on air early, then you do an ascent up the float line and get picked up by the boat. Currents were rarely a problem, and usually light or none. Speyside was warmer 79 - 80 but visibility was poorer. I was happy in a 3 mm wetsuit.
