My wife and I just got back from St Lucia last night. This was our first saltwater dive experience so I have nothing to compare it to, but we loved it. we did seven dives in five days there. We did a reef dive in the 'Bay of Pigs', a wall dive in an area they called 'Sephoria Cove', a wreck dive at the 'Lesleen M', a reef dive at 'South Beach', a night dive at 'South Beach', a reef dive at the 'Piton Gardens', and a reef dive at 'Keyhole Pinnacles'. We stayed at Sandals Halcyon and all of the dive trips, and gear, was included in the price so we thought we should take full advantage of the situation. Sandals has a nice 46' dive boat and it usually only took us about a half hour to get from Castries to the Pitons. We loved all of the sites that they took us too, but I'm afraid that my opinion is not very valid since I have yet to see anything else.
