Description
Scuba St. Lucia is a PADI 5* Dive Resort on the beachfront at Anse Chastanet Resort.
The entire region surrounding Anse Chastanet is made up of an award winning marine reserve which has been established since 1995 to protect the pristine beauty of St.Lucia's coral reefs. Perfectly set up for both beach and boat dives, Scuba St. Lucia offers guests gear storage, a well equipped scuba store, three compressors, rental dive gear and an underwater Photo and Video center.
The dive center offers a wide range of PADI courses, from Discover Scuba Diving to Divemaster, and requires each new diver to complete an orientation dive and skill review on the house reef. All dives offered by Scuba St Lucia are guided by an instructor or dive master to maximize diver safety and enjoyment.
The house reef starts just 10 yards beyond the water's edge, and its remarkable ecosystem offers an amazing range of unusual tropical marine life, in 20 to 140 feet of calm, clear water. Anse Chastanet Reef is home to more than 150 different species of fish and makes for an amazing dive, day or night. In the shallow areas you'll see peacock flounders, octopus, needle fish and turtles. Or drop down a little deeper over dense coral growth to see puffers, moray eels, parrot fish, lobsters and even sea horses.
