Cruise Ship Specials - Dive Trips for Certified Divers.

Your choice of Standard or Premium Service

For the 2008 - 2009 season we have introduced exciting new packages for Certified Divers visiting St. Lucia on a Cruise Ship. For the more cost concious diver we have introduced Standard Service and for those divers who prefer a smaller number of divers on the boat and to dive exclusively by the Pitons, there is Premium Service. Private Boat Hire is also available.

What is Standard Service?

Standard Service is a no frills service for certified divers who want to enjoy lower priced diving on some of St Lucia's best dive sites. All Standard Service dives are in the Marine Reserve in the Anse Cochon area (home of the beautiful Lesleen M shipwreck).

The price includes:-

      • Pick up/drop off to the dock next to your Cruise Ship.
      • Boat ride to/from dive sites (approx 20 minutes each way from Port Castries).
      • Dive boat "Volan" - up to 20 divers with 2 or more Instructors.
      • 2 dives on different sites south in the Marine Reserve (Anse Cochon).
      • Rental of dive equipment (inc Wetsuit) or a US$10 discount if you have your own.
      • Marine Reserve Dive Permit.
      • Drinks and snacks for the surface interval.

Premium Service offers a more personal service to divers who prefer to dive with smaller groups and avoid busier dive boats and maybe require a little extra assistance.

The price includes:-

      • Pick up/drop off to the dock next to your Cruise Ship.

      • Dive boat "Shirley" - up to 6 divers with 1 or more Instructors.
      • 2 dives on different sites south in the Marine Reserve in Soufriere by the Pitons.

Non-diving family and friends

All the diving and snorkelling sites that we visit have nice beaches next to them or very close by. This means that non-diving family and friends can accompany divers as a boat passenger (subject to space) and chill out on the beach or join one of our snorkelling tours whilst their family/friends dive. You can spend the surface intervals on the boat together.

Private Boat Charters

We also hire out both of our boats to private groups. So if you want a boat to yourself for the ultimate private excursion which can include diving, snorkelling, sightseeing or simply chilling on the beach we will be pleased to help you. Click for prices and further information.

Using your own dive equipment

We are happy to offer divers using all of their own equipment (except tank and weights) a discount. Please be advised that your equipment must be in perfect working order and meet the following minimum requirements:-

      • Regulator with a redundant second stage (Octopus or BCD with a built in Regulator).
      • Depth and Pressure Gauge.
      • BCD with working power inflator.
      • Mask, Fins, Snorkel (optional), Wetsuit (optional).
      • Gloves and Knives are NOT PERMITTED in the Marine Reserve (there is a $5000 fine).

If your equipment is faulty, (free-flowing regulator, defective gauges, leaky BCD etc), you will not be able to dive with it. We carry a limited supply of spare equipment on the boats and if there is spare equipment available we will rent it to you (US$10), if not, you will not be able to dive and there will be no refund. For this reason, if you intend to use your own equipment please make sure that it has been properly serviced and is in perfect working order.

Required Documentation

Certified Divers must produce their Certification Card before they dive. If you are unable to produce your Certification Card the only option is for us to dive you as a beginner on a Discover Scuba Diving Experience (possibly at extra cost). Please note that telling us on the day of the dive that you cannot find your card may result in you not being able to dive as we may not have a spare Instructor available to dive you as a beginner without prior notice. In this case you will not be able to dive and there will be no refund. If you are a PADI Certified Diver we can check your certification online but only at the Dive Center, so you need to let us know at least 24 hours before you are due to dive.
