Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was my second time diving with Scuba Steves. It was nice to see a few familiar faces. Captain Dwight , has a great sense of humor and keeps everyone safe always. I want to acknowledge Jonathan and Adam. They made my 4 days very pleasureable. The conversation was always good . They always made sure there was Coconut Shirleys on the boat. The only caveat I have is there are snorklers on the boat now. This is something I had not encountered before. The dive sites are now chosen based on what is safe for the snorklers and not what is good for the divers. I understand that you dont want a snorkler to drift away but divers are paying good money to dive and like to be brought to sites that have things to see.

Three fabulous days of diving on beautiful reefs and drifts with these lovely divers. Having not been under the water for several years, I was pretty nervous but needn’t have been - dive leaders were great and in the end challenged me beyond all expectations. Am now a MUCH more confident diver and am going home feeling a huge sense of achievement. Had the best laugh with wonderful people - Shout out to Dwight for (mostly) steering us out of the rain and for not putting my camera on eBay when I left it on the boat 😜😂 See you next time!!

We originally booked one day dive and snorkel trip, but came back for a second day as it was great! Jonathan, Dwight and Vanessa were great! My husband done diving and I did snorkeling!. They go to different locations and definitely knowledgeable and we felt very safe! Reefs are beautiful with so many colorful creatures.

Good dives over 3 days.
Crew was good, however be prepared to get wet on your rides to and from the dive shop.
Water tends to have a little chop and the boat is not a big catamaran.
Coral was vibrant and colorful as were the critters.
Actually saw an Eagle Ray although briefly.

Visiting Sainte-Lucia for the first time with a friend, the 3 boat trips, snorkeling and diving, with Scuba Steve Diving's team is one of the reasons why we will go back! It was my first diving experience and I was apprehensive about it. The team was very helpful and reassuring. The instructor was patient, he made sure that I fully understood the safety measures and how to perform the tests underwater and he stayed by my side throughout the dive. The equipment was in perfect condition. Everything went well. We swam among splendid fishes, observed a turtle and a ray. The speed boat ride was a pleasure, the team is really kind, professional and funny. Thank you all for this wonderful adventure and for the discovery of a part of this magnificent island!

Great crew, nice boat, amazing reefs. We did snorkelling with them too which was equally amazing. We went three times and each time we visited a different reef.

My friend and I had the chance to try snorkeling and diving with Scuba Steve's diving center. It was a wonderful experience : the team is very professional, kind and helpful. As beginners, we needed a lot of attention. Our instructor helped us a lot to manage our stress. In this context, we could enjoy the wonderful marine wildlife and flora. We saw a turtle, a ray, an eel, and so many different fish species... I also want to mention that we had a lot of fun with this great team. Thank you so much for your important contribution to this successul holiday on your beautiful paradise island!!

Overall a good experience until the last day. Upon arrival on the boat I asked the captain and dive master what sites we were going to. Since it was my last day of three diving with them they mentioned the Pitons. I then asked if we could do the Lesleen M wreck as the second dive. The DM recommended dropping me off at the Lesleen before he and the other five divers started the dive on the Koyomaru wreck. Since I did not have a buddy this would mean I would be down on the Lesleen wreck for approximately 20-25 minutes by myself while the rest of the party would dive the other wreck and then swim to the Lesleen. I was not in favor of that plan and was rather surprised he would mention me diving by myself. So I recommend I stay on the boat with the captain, drop the rest of the party and DM off at the Koyomaru and wait for them to swim towards the Lesleen wreck by monitoring bubbles and time. At that point I would drop down the mooring line and meet them at the bow if the Lesleen. That part went accordingly to plan. What was supposed happen next did not. At that point the DM was supposed to finish the dive with the rest of the party and take them to the mooring line to begin the ascent, do their safety stop and board the boat. The DM was then supposed to stay down with me and complete my dive. He did not. Apparently while I was taking pictures he went up with the rest of the divers and left me down solo. When I got back on the boat the DM was sitting in the front of the boat with the other five divers and had already taken his gear off. So much for a dive plan and a buddy.

This operation is a joke! They left me waiting on the cruise ship dock for 90 minutes. I followed their instructions exactly and upon calling to inquire why I hadn’t been picked up, was met with “the boat running late, but is on its way THREE different times until finally the employee answering the phones decided to call the boat captain who advised I had been left behind. No apology, no explanation, nothing. Horrible way to run a business!

Are your snorkel and dive trips completely separate? I am going to be travelling with a family member who does not dive but enjoys snorkeling and it would be nice for us to go together.

What is the diving practice with your Dive operation.
When we dive as a group is everyone required to surface when the first person in the group is running low on air?
Are we allowed to stay down until we reach 700 psi (with a buddy)
Are we required to follow a dive guide?
Thanks
Rick

Hello Ricksten
We always dive our planned dive time (as long as somebody still has air). People are escorted back to the surface or boat by one of the dive guides whilst the rest of the group continue to dive with the other guide/s until our planned dive time is reached.
You do have to dive with a Dive Guide, after all, you do not know the topology of the dive sites or the way the currents behave. Unaccompanied diving is not permitted by law here in St Lucia.

Yes, we provide free pick up and drop off in our own air conditioned mini bus. It is about a 7 minute drive to the Dive Centre.

Is it possible to do backward roll instead of giant stride?
ScubaStevesDiving
St. Lucia32 contributions
Not really as both of our Dive Boats only have a drop of less than 18 inches from the deck to the water making a back roll impossible.

Hi Brian
Yes you can dive as a single person, you can buddy with another single diver or you can buddy with one of the dive leaders.

Looking to come next December and wondered which hotels are closest to your dive centre as my husband doesn't want a long taxi ride or travel far to join your dive trips. Rgds
