Divers' Comments, Reviews of diving in St. Vincent
 St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Bequia

Roger Steene

Australian Roger Steene, author of numerous marine life and underwater photography books, visited St. Vincent for 14 days of diving in August 1998. He loved the trip for critter photography and offers these comments:

Unusual Octopus. Seen in St. Vincent in the sand at night, usually on the fringes of shallow reefs. "St. Vincent was a complete surprise to me! I had come from Australia to dive Bonaire and was urged by my friend Woody Mayhew to join him (in St. Vincent)! My first dive was at night - instantly I recognized it would be different to my previous 3 trips to the Caribbean!! The background colours that night were equal to anything I had found in the Indo-Pacific. Lots and lots of critters to photograph including my favorites, the crustaceans.

Day dives were similar with no shortage of macro subjects. I had not encountered this in the Caribbean!!! Coming directly from Bonaire (which I liked) the comparison was one-sided! Over 2 weeks diving St. Vincent, I shot more good subjects that I had dared to hope! I would barely be finished working on one goodie and the divemaster would have another for me! Beautiful sponge gardens deeper at most sites, unusual animals like the 2 species of bat fish and gorgeous red lobster that is on the cover of Humann's book and a real gem, a 10 foot long eunicid polychaete worm that is almost as thick as a ladies wrist and resembles a huge underwater centipede!! It must rate also as one of the outstanding places for frog fish and seahorses.

I love this place! Why are divers steaming to the West Pacific to find exotic animals? St. Vincent has some bloody beauties and wonderful topside scenery as well!"
