Comments	This was a first class operation. Laid back is the best way to describe it. It was easy diving at its best. We signed up for 6 two-tank dives. We dove as a group, usually between 4 and 8 divers led by a guide. First dives were usually in the 70 foot range, although some sites went to 100 and some were up at about 50. We spent about 30 minutes on the first dive, and were instructed to signal at ½ tank and turn around to head back to the boat together. We visited hot vents, wrecks and deeper reef sites and in 12 dives, never repeated a site. The second dive was in the 30-40 foot range, on shallow reefs, usually 40 to 50 minutes. Again, we dove as a group with a guide and surfaced together. Safety stops were encouraged and our guide was absolutely on top of things. That said, there was ample freedom to explore around on your own – away from, but in sight of the group. Some divers ventured deeper than the rest of the group. Admittedly, we were there during the low season, so we had a smaller group, but the boats were very accommodating to divers with ample room for set up and gear storage. Speaking of set up, we did not have to do a thing. On our first dive, we carried our gear down the dock and did not have to handle it after that. The guys switched our gear rinsed it at the end of the dives and stored it until the next day we came back. We showed up and it was set up, ready for us to go. It was the easiest diving we’ve done. The visibility was usually around 30-50 feet, not the best in the Caribbean. However, the water was spa warm, and the critters were plentiful. We saw lots of morays, nurse sharks, lettuce slugs, bristle worms, a few turtles, lobsters, and schools of tropical fish. The hard corals were scarce, but there were lots of sponges and soft corals. Our guide made sure to point out the interesting finds. This diving was good for divers of all experience levels. It was incredibly enjoyable. Nevis is a great place and Scuba Safaris is an excellent operation!
