Comments I was back visiting Jefferson and Lucie after more than six years and a major hurricane. Still professional, superbly safety conscious and the most accommodating operation I have yet to encounter. If you’re diving St Martin do yourself a favor and use them. Weather conditions weren’t the best this time of year so call ahead or contact them for advice if you’re not experienced and comfortable in anything but the best of sea conditions.
