Comments Pro Divers, the dive operator was very friendly and accomodating. We advised them that we were experienced divers and they did their best to accomodate our level of diving. Water was extremely warm and coral showed extreme signs of bleaching. Dive master stated that this had been occuring during the last four weeks because of the extremely warm water. Dive sites near shore had fair to poor visibilty. Dive site offshore in deeper water had good visibility. Only saw two angel fish in four dives. Apparently local fishermen have wiped out the larger fish for local consumption.

Would not recommend St. Kitts for a dive vacation. However, if you are there for any other reason, do get some diving in.
