Highlights
- Anse Cochon - Your day starts with a 8–9:30 am pickup from your hotel or cruise port. Next, arrive at Marigot Bay and check-in at the dive shop. After receiving equipment and filling out the required waiver, board the boat and head to the island’s sheltered west coast for your dive(s).
Your captain will take you to the best diving site for that day, depending on the water and weather conditions. The boat ride may be anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes. You may visit shipwrecks in Anse Cochon, or world-class diving spots like Soufriere, or Anse Chastanet. All of these sites are found in marine reserve areas. Upon arrival, spend the next 45-60 minutes diving the crystal-clear waters of St Lucia.
Back on board, enjoy a light lunch and a drink.
At the second site you will have 45-60 minutes to dive over reefs teeming with tropical fish or maybe the remnants of a wreck.
After, make your way back to Marigot Bay where you will disembark from the boat and get dropped off at your hotel/cruise ship.

Great cruise excursion. - We had a great time scuba diving here from a cruise ship. They picked us and took us to the dive shop and boat. The dive sites were not far away. The lunch on the way back on the boat was delicious. They got us back to the cruise port with plenty of time to spare. It was a great excursion.

Great Experience Diving with Dive Fair Helen - We had a great diving trip with Dive Fair Helen. We were picked up from our resort at the north end of the island which was really convenient. The dive locations selected were great and the crew was experienced and knowledgeable. Lunch was great. Some of the best food we had on the trip. I would definitely recommend Dive Fair Helen. We received personalized attention that we might not have received with larger tour companies.

Fantastic Crew to dive With - Fabulous divemaster Dylan and Captain Andre! We dove three days with them and it was a great experience for my husband and I. We have dove all over the planet for many years and I cannot recommend these fellows more! Great dives, excellent service-minded and happy fellows who made our experience mind blowing. Laid back, helpful, great personalities who love what they do. Andre's wife provided lunch for us each day and WOW what a cook! Just a great experience. They went OUT of their way to be helpful and kind. I'll never forget it! Thank you Dive Fair Helen! HIGHLIGHT of our journey from MT USA to Marigot Bay.

Diving with Dive Fair Helen. - These dives in the marine park are always great from the wreck dives to the reef. Dive Fair Helen has great boat and great for snorkelers and divers in your group. Lunch was great also. Will be back. We did this off of cruise ship and had no problems with transportation from ship or back to ship.

Beautiful diving but unsafe boat - The coral reef was very healthy and the reck dive was great. The dive master, was very knowledgeable. The reason for the 3 stars is the safety of the boat. Should I say the lack of safety! There was no safety briefing at the beginning, no oxygen on board, or any other first aid equipment.
After being dropped off in the water, for our second dive, as we were descending, the boat left us while we did approximately a 50 minute dive. Upon surfacing we had to wait for the boat to return to pick us up. This is a big problem if someone had an emergency with no boat. As one of my family members was climbing the ladder, and several of us were still in the water. The boat started up and put the motor and gear washing some of us away from the prop wash, and one person falling off back of ladder.

Nice dives, very poorly organized - We were picked up from the cruise ship pier at the specified time. After a 15-20 minute drive to the dive boat, we waited outside in the heat and sun for over an hour waiting for a group from another cruise ship. Lack of planning and organization were very evident. I felt bad for the staff who were waiting with us- they were apologetic and frustrated as well. The trip included snorkelers and divers and was very crowded. The dives themselves were beautiful and our guide was awesome. The lunch provided was simple but tasty. After we returned to the boat dock, we waited 15 minutes for the crew to unload all the gear, then got back on the boat. 45 minutes later we were finally back at our ship.
