Comments	St. Vincent has been called the "muck diving capital of the Caribbean", and I'm sure it is no exageration. Bill Tewes, owner of "Dive St. Vincent" and his staff, have extraordinary knowledge of the local critters habits and habitats. The will find a great subject, write down the name on a dive slate, and move on to find you something else. Bill's passion for marine life is inspiring. He got just as excited finding beautiful and bizarre creatures as I did seeing them. You can do 2 morning dives, and with advanced notice, add an afternoon dive. I saw flying gunards, red banner blennies, yellow face pike blennies, neck crabs, sea slugs, sponge crabs, flamingo tongues, seahorses, nimble spray crabs, various shrimps, numoruos eels, squid, blue throated pike blennies,octopi,and yellowhead jawfish. In addition to muck diving, there are beautiful tropical fish such as rock beauties, juvenile queen angelfish,jack knife fish, juvenile spotted drums, french angelfish, and many types of butterflyfish. St. Vincent is also an excellent place to do night dives because, as Bill would often say,"there is nothing here bigger than you". Accommodations at Young Island Resort are private and charming. Rooms vary greatly and their website maps and describes each room. Meals were outstanding with many choices available. Leave your watch at home.
