If you are busy arranging your honeymoon in St Lucia then one activity that you may want to find out more about is scuba diving. St Lucia honeymoons are popular because the island is a tropical paradise, but many couples want to do more than just lay on a beach all day and opt to go diving while there. Here are some more details about diving on the island to help you plan your honeymoon and get the most out of your stay.

Why is St Lucia So Great for Diving?

St Lucia was formed by a volcano; the banks of this volcano underneath the water make for a spectacular underwater world to discover through diving. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced pro, you will love exploring the reefs, shipwrecks and the huge variety of sea life - including turtles, sharks, seahorses and more. As well as the excellent diving on offer during your St Lucia honeymoons, you'll also be able to take advantage of expert guides because there are a number of diving schools to choose from. So, even if one half of your loving duo has not had experience diving, you can get lessons and all the equipment you need to explore the tropical waters around the coast.

Best Diving Sites

There are a large number of diving sites to explore on your St Lucia honeymoons, so you will be able to take your pick of the best. Here are some that you may want to consider:

The Waiwinette Freighter

This is one of the best shipwrecks to be found off the coast of the island, but it is only for experienced divers. Located off the south coast, you'll find the freighter 90 feet below the surface, and the currents in the area mean that this should be approached with caution.

Anse La Raye

This area is often highlighted as one of the best drift dives off the coast of the island. You'll be able to explore large boulders under the water as well as other interesting formations, creating a fascinating experience under the waves.

Anse Chastanet

This is one of the most popular spots for diving in the whole of the Caribbean. It is a reef located off the south west of the island, and with depths of 25 feet it is easy to access from the beach. The reefs also go a lot deeper, down to 140 feet, meaning it is a great area to explore for more advanced divers as well as beginners.
