Comments	Dive St. Kitts operates out of the Bird Rock Beach Hotel. The Bird Rock is an older, funky Caribbean style hotel, but comfortable and convenient for diving. Restaurant on site was good, not great, but off site restaurants are easy to get to by cab. We did 2-tank dives in the mornings, leaving the dock at 8:30am, returning around noon. Our package included one night dive, and a few of our group did a couple of afternoon dives. Most dive sites are a 10-15 minute boat ride from the shop. Diving was good, not great, with vis being a little stirred up at 30-50ft max., but the dive staff was excellent. Very accommodating and fun to dive with. The DM's were always on the hunt for lionfish. On a couple of the dives, once the lionfish were speared the reef sharks came in for lunch. Quite entertaining. Other than sharks, we didn't see much in the way of larger fish, but small tropicals and critters were abundant.

UW Photo Comments	The boat had a dedicated camera bucket, which filled up quickly with the 5 or 6 cameras that our group had. The crew handled the cameras with care, handing them to us once we were in the water, and taking them from us at the ladder to reboard.
