Dive Review of
Dive St. Vincent/Rosewood Hotel in
St. Vincent and the Grenadines/St. Vincent

Aruba, Bahamas, Belize, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Cozumel, Florida,
Grand Cayman, Curacao, South Caicos, St. Vincent, US Virgin Islands

Dive Conditions

No real restrictions enforced.  We were able to dive our own profile and
stay as deep or as shallow as we wanted.  Great opportunityies for
photography.  

Great potential for macro photography. The boats weren't really set up for
cameras - a small fresh water area on one boat, no fresh water on another.
We took digital photographs so don't know availability of film processing.   

Overall Rating

The diving was very nice - lots of small things to see and photograph:
frogfish, seahorses to the point of tiring of seeing them, pipefish,
nudibranchs, flying gurnards.  Some very healthy sponges and coral life;
large schools of chromis but no large animals or pelagics.  Saw one small
Southern Stingray and one small barracuda.  Water temp was nice and warm
(82-84 F) and a 2.5 mm shorty was sufficient.  Dive staff was wonderful and
knowledgable about the sites.  We went diving with Larry, DJ and Callie and
enjoyed diving with each of them.  The dive shop itself has no retail to
speak of but there is a place to rinse and store your gear.  The staff set
up our equipment each day and changed it over between the dives.  The boats
were fairly small, max of about 8 guests which was nice.  Day trip to Falls
of Baleine with 2 dives and a stop for lunch was a great sightseeing/diving
day.  Definitely a place to go back to and dive again.  Would look for
another hotel though - we expected Rosewood to be a little nicer than it
was. The hotel was old and not near the beach, but only about ten minute
walk from the dive shop and fairly easy access to buses and taxis to get
around the island.  It might be nicer to spend a little more and stay on
the beach.
