We went scuba diving several times in St. Lucia. The first day we arrived, we were lucky enough to get on the 10:20am scuba trip. We went to a cove called the Bay of Pigs about 25 minutes off shore. Evidently when the French first arrived in this cove, pigs were scattered around the beach.
Our dive was a reef dive lasting about 45 minutes. The coral was more colorful than Jamaica, but not nearly as colorful as Curacao. There was quite a bit of sea life. We saw many colorful fish, spotted eels, fan coral, and more. It was a very nice dive - plenty to see and enjoy. Over the next few days, we participated in the two tank morning dives. We dove around the Bay or Pigs cove 3 more times. On Monday, we dove a wreck. It was a ship that was sunk 22 or so years ago. It was covered in coral and other plants and inhabited by a variety of fish. Our second dive was along the coast - a wall dive. The dive was very relaxing - drifting along the coast with the current. On this dive, we saw a large octopus hiding in a nook along the wall. It was a light golden brown in color and blended in with the rocks and coral along the wall. I am including some pictures from our diving trips. I hope that you enjoy them.
