Comments	[We organized this trip of 2 weeks for my wife and I on a very short notice as we were planning to go to Maui with our diving equipment already there. We choose Sandals for the convenience of everything being organized. We took some spare diving equipment but with no real hope of doing diving as we had bad experiences with previous resorts. We tried it and they were very friendly. This is no diving for expert, but this is average diving on the Caribbean scale. The equipment was in good shape and well maintained. For a resort diving, this is 4 out of 5. St Lucia is fished out, but the coral is coming back. The only time I saw some interesting life was during a night dive. The Resort it self (La Toc) is luxurious, the food is fine, plenty of drinks, but it can be noisy. Do not get a room next to the largest swimming pool/reception area. Everything is included but not the night dive at $100/person. They do certification at the resort, but it is not free. We choose to fly from Manchester NH to support the local Airport. Not a good idea. Try Boston non-stop instead. None]

UW Photo Comments	The organization is very smooth, very friendly and quite professional. The boats are 46' and designed for 22 divers. We never saw the boat full. They divide the divers in two groups: the certified and the advanced. The first group is limited to 60' and the advanced to 90'. They have some flexibility.
