St Vincent, a volcanic island in the eastern Caribbean, has some of the most

interesting diving of any destination in the area. Although the pretty reefs  of the

Caymans, Bonaire and Belize are well known, St Vincent is "the critter capital of the

Caribbean". Odd fish, shrimps, sea horses, the very rare fingerprint cyphoma are all

found here in relative profusion. Red Banded Lobsters on the deep reefs below 100 feet

and the tiny Squat Lobster of the shallows are animals that might never be found

anywhere else.  All credit has to be given to owner Bill Tewes and the staff at Dive St

Vincent. Bill has been a self described "critter nut" for years and it's his keen eyes and

enthusiasm that open up the world of the weird here. For anyone looking for the

unusual and extraordinary, Dive St Vincent (www.divestvincent.com)is the operation

to explore with.
