Do you like to take underwater pictures or see a wide variety of small creatures and don't feel like flying 36 hours away from home? Well, I do. I heard of St. Vincent and Scuba Diving Magazine in association with the St. Vincent Tourism Board put a trip together for 12 divers. Stephen Frink led the group. I have been on location for 5 diving days with 12 dives under my belt and all I can say is that the dive guides in addition of being helpful and friendly are walking, oops sorry, diving encyclopedias. They are always ready to point and write on their slate what they are pointing at. The Dive sites have never had more than 7 divers, including guides, in the water at any given time and that for me is a photographer's paradise. In St. Vincent you are may dive as long as your air or bottom time allows it, thus making it a more relax diving atmosphere. On the average, I did 75 minutes dives and always came back to the boat with a smile because I had seen sea horses, moray eels, shrimps that live on sea urchins, flying gurnards, batfish, Peterson cleaning shrimp with eggs and much more. Ok, granted nothing is perfect in paradise. I kept forgetting that here everything runs on Island Time, not only underwater, which I did love but the resort as well so I learned that I needed to allow more time for our excellent meals and drinks.
