St. Lucia - Rebreather Friendly?

So no one has told you about the depth restriction.

Interesting site-

Also- SCUBA ST. LUCIA INTRODUCES NITROX

I was told not so long ago that there was a serious depth restriction in the marine park. I cannot find the posting right know.

Hi Stuart,
I also heard about depth and diving restrictions but I don't remember exactly where and how. Beside Union and Grenada I always had problem to get anything down there. However St.Lucia is really beautiful, may I suggest to visit Marigot Bay? It is lovely.
I will go back to the Carabbean in November so, I hope you will have some good news about filling.
Best,
Nad

It is about half way down the island closer to Souffiere (Spl) than Castres. It is located just north of the Pitons where most of the best diving is. My two favorite dives are Supermans flight and the Pillars. The most fish I have ever seen in 30 yers of diving was just off the beach at Anse Chastanet.

That's good to hear, as I'm staying at Marigot bay for 1 of the weeks I'll be there. Then the second week at Anse Chastanet. I'm getting excited already!!
