Superman's Flight, a drift dive on a gentle wall which drops to 1,600 feet. At the base of Gros Piton the Coral Gardens rise from a depth of 15 to 50 feet and Anse La Raye, midway up the west coast is a superb wall and drift dive, where huge boulders cover a shallower slope creating fascinating formations to explore.

On the point of Anse Chastenet, a plateau slopes gently from 40 - 60 feet. The reefs fall away to a depth of 140 feet in a unique coral chain, meandering out from the Bay. A number of shipwrecks provide adventure and exploration for divers.

For the experienced only, off the southern part of the island, the Waiwinette freighter lies 90 feet below. The currents here make this dive extremely challenging, whereas further up the coast off Castries, there is a pleasant wreck dive in 20 feet of water for those less experienced.

As mountainous below sea level as it is above, St Lucia offers incomparable sightseeing for divers who are drawn to the tremendous variety that nature has to offer: huge gorgonians, black coral trees, gigantic barrel sponges, purple vase sponges and lace coral.

Angelfish, black beauties, golden spotted eels, seahorses, Stingrays, nurse sharks, turtles and many varieties of schooling fish are as plentiful as they are colorful and varied.

A few submerged shipwrecks and a mysterious serpentine creature of mythical proportions known as "the thing" add to the excitement of diving in the waters of St Lucia.

Cricket

As part of its English heritage, cricket is a popular sport on the island of St. Lucia. The cricket season is from March to August, however friendly fete matches are arranged year round throughout the island. St. Lucia is also home to the World renowned Beausejour Cricket Grounds.

Soccer

Soccer or football as we call it, is played informally on the beach or more competitively on one of the many playing fields around the island. Friendly inter-hotel football matches are often organized at the larger hotels or sometimes local teams are invited to play, perhaps for a case of Piton beer for the winning team.

Beach Volleyball

Volleyball is a popular sport and beach volleyball is fun. Hotels located on the beach have nets set up, and getting a team together is usually no problem.

Tennis is available at most large hotels on island.

The legendary white marlin dwells off the coast of St Lucia, where deep sea fishing is a popular recreational activity.
