St Vincent is an underwater photographers paradise.  Dive St Vincent didn't
provide anything for transporting or rinsing the equipement.

Dive St. Vincent booked my trip for me.  I chose the no frills 2 week stay
at the Skyblue Inn. (I saved between $700 and $800 over the bigger hotels)
 It has 7 one bedroom rooms that come with a kitchenette. Room was clean,
air conditioned and had cable TV.  It is located a short walk (5-10
Minutes) from the dive shop.  The resturant was adequate but not as good
as the Lime N pub located near the dive shop.  Callie and DJ are the
divemasters at Dive St. V.  Both have a vast knowledge of marine life and
an uncanny ability to find the smallest creatures.  I found the weather
ideal but the water visibility less than expected.  The dive boat was
never crowded.  Most we ever had was 7 divers.  The average was 4-6.  St
Vincent rates a return trip.
