Comments	Excellent dive operation with large boats and new new BC's. Novel tank storage rack in center rear of boat (a 6X8 grid) meant seats were free from tanks. Boats had substantial covered area. Dive Masters Errol and Keither let us set the pace and searched for interesting fauna throughout the dives (found a red frog fish and a sea horse). Dives generally lasted one hour and two went to 75 minutes. Always surfaced with nitrogen loading in the green. Lots of lobsters, arrow crabs and banded coral shrimp, morays everywhere. Very healthy and diverse sponge population. Corals generally healthy. Anse Chastenet is a spectacular resort with a world class staff, many of who remembered us from our first visit last October. St Lucia provides some of the best Caribbean diving we've encountered - like Bonaire 20 years ago. Great for small stuff and some turtles. Sharks, rays, and large pelagics completely missing.
