Diving
St Lucia's diving is not as highly regarded as the region's more pristine scuba environments, such as Saba or Bonaire. Visibility is generally fair, but rivers spilling into the ocean at places such as Soufriere and Vieux Fort bays can muddy the vistas. Still, many of the reefs - particularly in the south around the base of the Pitons - are excellent dive sites, and there are several submerged wrecks to explore. The island also offers up plenty of good certification programmes. If you're a serious enthusiast, it might be worth looking into packages offered by hotels such as Anse Chastanet , which bundle flights, accommodation and a specified number of dives at ostensibly discounted rates.
