St Lucia Certified Two Tank Dive
Certified Two Tank Dive Cruise Tour
St. Lucia is rated as one of the unexploited underwater secrets in the Caribbean. With its pristine and highly diverse coral reefs, pinnacles and shipwrecks, this island offers the visitor the ideal diving adventure – one not to be missed!
Departing from the cruise pier area, 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 Marigot Bay to the island’s sheltered west coast. The boat may be shared by both divers and snorkelers on this St. Lucia excursion.
Depending on the water and weather conditions that day, your captain will head for the best diving and snorkeling site. This may be anywhere from a 15 to 45 minute boat ride. You may visit shipwrecks in Anse Cochon, wall and or drift dive in Soufriere, or simply beach dive at Anse Chastanet or Anse Cochon. All of these sites are found in our marine reserve areas along the sheltered west coast of the island. Upon arrival, your captain will anchor and divers will be teamed up with their guide (maximum eight guests per guide) and spend approximately the next 45-60 minutes diving the crystal-clear waters of St. Lucia. Most dives are between 45 and 65 feet deep. Surface time is back on board, where a full lunch is served and time to rest before the captain makes his way to your second site.
There, you will also have 45-60 minutes to dive over reefs teeming with tropical fish or maybe the remnants of a wreck. After your second dive, you will make your way back to Marigot Bay and then to your cruise ship. Average time of this St. Lucia tour, including transfers is 4-5 hours but may vary based on the dive sites visited that day. Diving is from the boat at anchor and you must have a valid C-card.
Boats are spacious dive boats with all amenities including restroom, relaxed seating and dual ladders for easy water entry and exit. Mask, fins, snorkel, tanks, belt and weights are included in the dive price.
PLEASE NOTE: As many divers travel with some of their own equipment, the following are NOT included–BCD, Regulator, and Wet suits (if needed); they are approximately $12 US each to rent (separate charge not included in dive price).
This tour shares the same boat as the St. Lucia Snorkeling tour for parties wanting to split up, but be together, snorkelers should book the snorkeling tour.
| Day 1 |
St. Lucia is an island of verdant landscapes in every direction: A dense rain forest rises up and covers The Pitons' twin peaks, and in the valleys, the sun's rays dance upon the large yellow-green leaves of banana plants. Beyond all the greenery, you'll find isolated coves, stunning beaches, colonial towns, quiet fishing villages and first-class yachting facilities.
Sports-enthusiasts needn't worry about feeling idle on a St. Lucia vacation. The island has plenty of activities to partake in, from water sports such as diving and snorkeling to land options like hiking through the rain forest and exploring a volcano. Lucia's beaches are awe-inspiring, with strands of black volcanic sand, mile-long stretches of white beach and gorgeous palm-fringed bays bordered by towering mountains. Nature's impact on St. Lucia's beaches has made each one more breathtaking than the last. |
