Hello all,
Looking for some first hand advice regardinga dive destination. I have the opportunity to go to St. Lucia or Cozumel in 2 weeks. I've done Cozumel and it was nice and I kinda would like to try something new but I have never really heard much about St. Lucia. From the little research I have done sounds like there are some nice reefs there but does it even compare with Cozumel?
Also, how about the night life in St. Lucia for a single guy? Kinda sounds like a couples place to me??
Any thought would be appreciated...I have a day or two to figure this out.
Cant wait to try my new Sea & Sea wide angle lens...

Thanks!

I would be inclined to agree that the weddings are better than the diving on SL. Cozumel offers much more scope - 10 visits maybe you'll see 0.5%

I'd go along with Bob.

Was over there about 5 yrs ago, although never dived. From what I saw & heard the best diving you'll get there is in the bedroom. Mind you if you are on your own that's not much consolation. Better off with a greasy boxing glove & a mucky mag.

Here's a link to help you make up your mind.

Holy COw!!

No making me laugh underwater guys, you are killing me.

So you did Cozumel and are looking for something new...I can relate I did my ex-wife and then looked for something new. (added by Marks request)

You guys are too much!!!

I chose to go to Cozumel again....I really could not finding anything really nice about St Lucia's diving....and I think Coz is probably some of the best in the area. Or so it would seem??

So Iam off for a week the 2nd week of February

thanks for the input....

Hey Jed, I've been to Cozumel 10 times and I never get enough. I'm not sure where you are coming from, but it's 2 1/2 hours from Texas. I have to get my Mexico fix at least once a year. If you need any help on a dive op, I use a small owner/operator that we all think is tops. I can't stand the large "cattle boat" ops. I also know a good local leasing agent there if you would rather rent a home instead of a resort. We never go all-inclusive since there are so many excellent places to eat and we always have to do our favorites.

Overall, considering travel, cost, food, culture, and diving, I think Cozumel is a bargain.

PS "El busear en la cama" is as good there as any other destination.
