Comments	It was off season and most days I was the only diver. The boat went out, and I experienced wonderful guided dives, photo ops and customer service. Dive Bequia is a PADI 5 Star place and they arranged wonderful accommodations for me. Their crew even introduces me to locals that ran specific restaurants. The overall experience was wonderful and I would definitely go back. As a PADI Instructor, I am very picky about shops, safety and excellent customer service are most important. These waters boasted some of the healthiest soft corals I have ever seen. Small & medium fish life was prolific and night dives were full of lobsters, octopi, frog fish and eels. Even the harbor was so clean, you could snorkel at dusk and see mantas, and flying gunards & barracuda. I have noticed quite a few posts about Dive Adventures. While I was on island, they had a staffer electrocuted by a faulty engine connection and also had a boat partially sink. Met their staff and was not at all impressed, just saying.

I've made many of the postings on Dive Adventures & I was there when longtime partner, Laury Stowe was electrocuted by the Compressor, due to a faulty Transformer - not the dive shop's problem, but an island problem. FYI, one of their boats partially sank due to vandalism. Their staff is extremely safety minded or we would not dive there every year for the last 9 years. We've dove over 30 divesites around Bequia over these years, as opposed to the same 6 sites that Dive Bequia goes to over and over. Just saying!
