What To Expect
From your hotel or cruise port 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 to the island's sheltered West Coast.
Depending on the water and weather conditions that day, your captain will head for the best diving site. This may be anywhere from a 15 to 45 minute boat ride. You will visit reefs either at Anse Cochon or Soufriere Beach. All of these sites are found in the marine reserve areas along the sheltered West Coast of the island. Upon arrival, spend approximately the next 45-60 minutes diving the crystal-clear waters of St Lucia.
These beginner dives are up to 45 feet deep. After the dive you'll head back on board the boat, where a full lunch will be served. Snorkelers are also on the same boat but are not grouped together as each has their own tours and guides.
All dives are carried out in the marine reserve areas, and are supervised by staff dive masters and instructors; this aids in diver safety and environmental awareness.
After lunch, you'll be brought back to the dive shop and from there transferred back to your hotel or port.

Participants in the St Lucia Beginner Scuba Diving Tour cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.
The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS.
Jun 2024If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
