omeinv Posted August 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) @hoff624 I've used both Scuba Steve's and Eastern Caribbean. They're quite similar in service, and price. Both will pick you up within walking distance of the ship (there are two docks on opposite sides of the Harbor, but they'll know which your ship is at). I prefer Eastern Caribbean just based on responsiveness, and my (admittedly subjective) opinion of their friendliness and quality of service. Scuba Steve's offers a less expensive trip, but it's there in the Castries area, where the visibility is not near so good. For their upgraded trip, or Eastern Caribbean's regular trip you get down near Soufriere, which is where the better diving is. Probably the most famous site for St. Lucia is Superman's Flight. It's fine, but many of the other sites there in the shadows of the pitons are at least equally good. I usually deal with Eget, either by email or WhatsApp. She will make sure to get everything you need all set in advance.

We have been there before and use Dive Grenada but they booked this time. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omeinv Posted August 20, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Oh absolutely!! ScubaTech Grenada. Eveline Verdier, the owner is absolutely fantastic. Sometimes they'll meet you in the boat, which means you take a short (10 minutes or so) walk out of the port, then through the Sendal Tunnel, then to the water's edge in town. Other times, she'll pick you up at the port entrance by car. Either way you'll have a fantastic day for sure, with a great team. Oh, and Eveline is also the Swiss Honorary Consul to Grenada, so if you're Swiss, and get yourself in any trouble, she can help you with that on your surface interval. 🙂 https://www.scubatech-grenada.com/ Harris Denver, CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any recommendations for diving in Nassau, Bahamas or Cozumel Mexico? Thanks Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far asI know the only option is Stuart's Cove, and I haven't heard enough good to make me ever book a dive there For Cozumel I definitely do have a recommendation: Sherief Sanad, who's basically famous amoung Cozumel instructors has started Humarine. He will be able to set you up with a great day there. https://humarine.com/ Harris Denver, CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will reach out to Sherief at Humarine. Thanks again Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac66 Posted September 4, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) I booked through the ship in Nassau. It's the only way you can dive there on a cruise. We went to Stuarts Cove. It was a cattle boat but the diving was pretty good. I'd do it again if I wanted to dive on a Bahamas cruise.
