Comments	The Good. Pristine reefs, lots of sponges and soft corals, untold number of fish species, and what they are known for, critters i.e. nudibranchs, flatworms, shrimps, crabs, limpets, chitons, cowries and brittle stars. Yearly daytime temp hovers in the mid 80's and the nighttime is in the upper 70's. Water temp in the summer is 83/84 and in the winter 79/80. This all depends on whose computer you take the reading from. The Bad. Getting there. Island only serviced by one airline, LIAT. LIAT stands for Leave Island Any Time, Luggage In Any Terminal, Lord It's Awful Transportation and Laugh It's All True. Usually requires 2 days to get there and one day to get home, thus causing many divers to avoid this destination. Dive St Vincent is the oldest dive shop on the island with over 33 years experience diving in these waters. Their specialty is "critters" but not limited to them. It is a small 3 person shop that is open 364 days a year. Christmas day they are closed. They offer limited shore diving in the bay in front of the dive shop. For diving and water conditions you may encounter all of them. The rainy season sees a lot of rain every day but it is usually short showers that are passing through. Water conditions during your stay depend on time of year and time of day you dive but the majority of the diving is done from moorings, not drift diving. I have been diving with DSV since 2003. If you care to see what I have seen, go to www.rayhabermangallery.phanfare.com/ and you can see what I have seen over the years. The other 2 dive shops on the island are top notch but I don't think they can offer the "critter" finding that DSV can.
