Day 1–4
Arrive in St. Lucia and travel the windy road along the coast
to the picturesque cove of Rodney Bay. After settling into your
46-foot catamaran yacht and meeting your crewmates, raise the main
and set sail down island to do an orientation dive on St. Lucia’s
most stunning reefs, Superman’s Flight, Anse Chastanet, Devil’s
Hole and Pinnacles. Moor nestled between the sheer cliff walls of
the Pitons, two jungle-covered peaks that literally shoot straight
out of the water, towering two thousand feet. Hike up for a bird’s
eye view of the island and its blue and green waters.
Day 5–8
Sail south to experience historic St. Vincent. Picnic at magnificent
Baleine Falls, accessible only by boat. Hike up to the rim of the Soufriere
Volcano and peek over the edge into the active crater. Anchor at Smuggler’s
Cove and dive through a crack in the rocks to explore a hidden bat cave.
Visit Wallilabou and explore the actual set of Pirates of the Caribbean.
After a marine biology briefing, plunge into crystal clear waters to
find sheer wall drop-offs and reefs loaded with life. Sea creatures
abound on our dives here, including spoon-nosed eels, brotula and viper
morays. You may even catch a rare glimpse of a shortnose or red-lipped
batfish.
Day 9–12
Visit Bequia, a beautiful and relaxed island of rolling hills,
gingerbread houses, flowers and golden sand beaches. The island’s wooden
boat building, fishing and whaling history is unmistakable as we explore.
An unforgettable highlight is spending a day working at the turtle
sanctuary with Brother King, and having the opportunity to release
one of his hawksbill turtles into the ocean. There is also a lot to
see below the waterline in Bequia. Although very close to St. Vincent,
the diving is altogether different. Bequia is all about big fish and
gentle sloping reefs.
Day 13–17
The Tobago Cays provide the ideal setting to complete our
Rescue Certification with crystal clear water, a maze of surrounding
white sandy beaches and quiet hidden coves accessible only by boat.
The astounding beauty of these tiny islands makes you feel like you’re
inside a postcard. Enjoy a drift dive in a peaceful lagoon on Horseshoe
Reef, our best chance to see sharks! Then sail to Mayreau and dive
into history on the 150-foot wreck of the Puruni, a gunboat sunk during
the First World War.
Day 18–21
The diving only gets better in the final days of our adventure...
The Sisters, Big Blue, and Kick ‘Em Jenny offer fantastic opportunities
to see pelagics, as the sheer walls drop off into the abyss. Head ashore
on Grenada and see why people call it the Isle of Spice. The fragrance
of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and tropical flowers permeates
the breeze. The quaint towns have a colonial feel and the scenery is
captivating. Hike the trail of Seven Sisters Falls and swim in its
thundering water. Then listen to the sweet sound of steel drums and
dance with friends at a farewell beach party.
