The Anse Cochon reef is a shallow dive with volcanic rock spurs where coral and songs grow and extend from end to end. Brain coral is prominent here and has grown all along the rock ledges which attract tons of aquatic life. Due to the frank beauty of this place divers often have their cameras guy charged and ready to go for some breath taking photos. This dive site is one of the most photographed in St.Lucia.

From there one might want to visit the Pigeon island reef which might be the most dived site in the north of the island due to its calm conditions, easy accessibility and low currents. Here you will experience aquatic life at its best with several sitings of the white and orange ocean frog fish and the amazing seahorse. Some Divers even choose night dives here for special photography and training courses.

The Lesleen M Wreck is another great site. This ship was sunk on purpose by the department of fisheries in order to create artificial coral reef. After the ship was sunk soft coral, sponge and hydroids grew creating the perfect habitat for all types of aquatic life. This dive is perfect for novice divers and everything from fire coral, to juvenile frog fish, angel fish and tuna can all be spotted on this dive.
