Before I start, I must confess that I'm not a diver. Like swimming, do a bit of snorkelling and when I was a kid I did a starter sub-aqua course, but I haven't dived for ** years (a lady never tells her age!)I arrived in Monteserrat on the Saturday and met this lovely lady Coretta on Sunday lunchtime at Olverston...

I did not dive at the Green Monkey; instead I was visiting Little Bay and Carrs Bay on a brief day trip from Nevis. Troy and Melody let me use the Dive Shop as my headquarters. The Green Monkey is the most atmospheric dive center I have ever been in, and Troy and Melody were fantastically kind and hospitable. I... More

The boat tour is well worth the $50 US each. The captain is talking constantly pretty much the whole 2 hours, filling you in on a wide variety of gossip, anecdotes, the state of the island, which famous person lives there, etc. Also the place to rent kayaks to go around the bluff to Rendezvous Beach (the only white sand...

We dove a week with the Green Monkey Dive Shop. We did 2-3 dives a day, completely dependant on our whims. The dive shop accomidated our schedules and our diving interests. The dive boat appeared to be the biggest and best on the island, and my wife and I had it to ourselves every dive. Troy or Oswald took us... More

I've been dying to go to Montseraat for 16 years and finally made it. I wanted to see the modern day Pompeii, Plymouth. We went out with Green Monkey Dive Shop and it was great. Tony, (aka "Mr Awesome!") was our captain and guide. He was fun, informative, and wonderfully casual. I hate uptight boat trips. After the tour we... More

We lucked out, all the planets lined up for our Plymouth boat tour. Sun, not much wind, calm seas and great view of the volcano dome this day (11/7/2010). Agree with everyone one else on how they rated Green Monkey and the tour......spectacular! More

Green Monkey's "Discover Scuba" package was fantastic - my wife and I had never been diving before, and we had a blast! They really went the extra mile, accommodating us on very short notice, and even getting us to/from the pool we used for the intro session. Troy was a patient and friendly teacher, and we felt we were in... More

We had high expectations of the Green Monkey given the positive reviews, but Troy managed to exceed those expectations. Troy accomodated our schedules and made sure we visited all of the dive sites during the week we were there (except Redonda because of high winds and seas). We dove our own profiles and had bottom time limited only by our... More

We took a boat tour with Troy and highly recommend it. The tour goes from Little Bay to just past Plymouth (and back to Little Bay) and is an excellent way to see the Montserrat coastline and the destruction caused to Plymouth. Troy is very knowledgeable about the island and very helpful when planning your trip to Montserrat. More

The Green Monkey is a well equipped and professionally run dive shop. They are by far the most knowledgeable people on Montserrat when it comes to its surrounding waters. Safety and the true enjoyment of your experience are their number one priority. The boat is well built and secure and the views from the sea (both above and down below)... More
