Comments This was the first live-aboard for me. Wonderful staff on board. Crew of 8 took care of the divers. Up to 5 dives available per day, including the night dive. Nitrox is available but at $150 cost per week. the food was incredible with the on board chef handling all requests. Beef wellington, pork tenderloin, smoked turkey, etc.... The diving in St Kitts is great because there are not that many divers in this area of the Carribean. The coral is in great shape and the marine life is curious of you. great dive trip after the first day on board. All of us got sea sick at some point....
