diver's ability and desire.
Let's take a look at some of our favourite underwater locations around the
Island.
The clear waters and pristine
reef around St Lucia offer a wide variety of dives to suit all ,and the
list of sites below have been recommended by the local dive experts.
The Pinnacles:
Situated across Soufriere Bay from the Pitons, four spectacular
natural monuments rise from 300 feet to within several feet of
the surface.

Fairyland: Fairyland is a
drift dive outside the Anse Chastanet cove and is subject to occasional strong currents. The plateau slopes from 40 to 60 feet.
Superman's Flight:
A sheer wall descending to 1000ft below the Petit Piton,
this dive gets it's name because of the strong currents.
"Lesleen M":
Sunk in 1986 in 60ft near Anse Cochon,
this 165-foot freighter has become a man made reef festooned
with sea life. |

Anse la Raye Reef:
Sloping gently from the beach this popular dive is an ideal location
for novices and photographers alike.
Virgin's Cove:
Near the "Lesleen M", this cove features a semi-circular reef wall,
levelling out 45 to 55 feet below.
The Wall: Near Anse La Raye
village, The Wall is one of the finest drift dives in St. Lucia. |

Anse Chastenet Reef: Further south,
lies the Anse Chastanet reef, a protected marine park. Small shallow caves
are home to a great variety of marine life, and the constant presence
of divers over the years has made the local population unafraid of
human contact. Local fishermen are banned from fishing here so their
only enemies are themselves
Coral Gardens:
South of Anse La Ray, an ideal sheltered dive as is
Rosemond's
Trench
with a depth of 35 feet. |

"Angelina":
Just outside Marigot Bay, 60 feet down sits the wreck of the
Angelina, a small inter island Coaster.
Devil's Hole: "Le
Trou du Diable" or "Devil's hole" is also a fascinating location. Between 40 and
60 feet, you'll find a steep slope with large barrel sponges and well
developed coral heads
