Comments	The good, is the condition of the reefs and the number of fish and "critters" to be found. The weather is constant year round, about 84 in the day and 78 in the evenings. A quaint, laid back island with lots to see and do when not in the water. St Vincent is not known for large fish but scattered throughout the Grenadines are dive shops that can show you just about anything you could ask for. The bad is the trouble it takes to get there. Only one commercial inter-island airline and it is far from being dependable. LIAT is known for its flight delays, cancellations and luggage being left behind. A small charter airlines, SVG Air, is available at a slightly higher price but is more dependable. I wish I had known that the diving and weather were going to have such an attraction for me. I now spend most of my time on the island diving looking for that "critter" that has never been seen before. It has become an addiction that I'm happy with. I've taken up underwater photography and have posted what I see on each dive. Feel free to go to rhabermangallery.phanfare.com/ and look for yourself.

UW Photo Comments	The shop is lacking in accommodations for camera servicing. No rinse tank on shore and only a small rinse tank on the boats. You have to do maintenance on your camera in your hotel room. As for subject matter, it is unlimited. Over 200 species of fish are found on the reefs. Coral and sponges abound. St Vincent is billed as "The critter capital of the Caribbean" and it more than lives up to its reputation. If you can't find something that you have never seen before, you aren't looking.
