One of the best memories of the vacation
This group delivered an awesome experience. Boat was very nice and easy on/off, no problems with the rental gear, and the guide was chill and great at spotting sealife. Saw lots of eels and turtles, and diving at the Pitons was so cool. Lunch was pretty tasty too! Diver groups were nice and small, of course in the shoulder season. Booked via email to the operator and they picked us up at the resort on the west side of St Lucia. Two tank dive trip usually from 10 ish to 130 We also chartered the boat for our entire group of 10 to dive/snorkle. Everyone had a blast, one of our best memories of the entire vacation. Recommend these guys very highly!

Great Time!
All the staff at Dive Fair Helen were very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to dive with DFH. We will call on them next time we are in St. Lucia!

A Great Dive Experience
Very attentive team, relaxed dives in a healthy reef system and a full, hot lunch between dives! All at a competitive price. Well done, Fair Helen!

Great Dive Shop!
Fabulous dive shop and crew - dive masters were top notch and really guided us to see some of the most breathtaking marine life I’ve ever seen.

Four dives with Dive Fair Helen.
Whilst on a recent holiday, I did two diving excursions ( 4 dives in total) with this company. Firstly, I required picking up from my hotel, which they were more than happy to do. Although I were a solo diver I were put with another solo diver, and we dived a wreck and a coral reef. The second set of dives I were put with a group and we all worked out our spacing, which was good. We dived two wrecks (in one dive), and another reef dive for the second dive. On both dives I were totally satisfied and have to say from the captain and the dive guides (dive masters. dive leaders) were brilliant. The pre dive checks (rules regarding coral, qualifications checks and BAR), dive plan and profile brief and air checks whilst diving were all present. The pace of the dives were perfect and at no stage did i feel rushed or out of breathe. The Iength of the last dive was 50 odd minutes, but it was in shallower waters, and we all came up with plenty of air in reserve. I won't go into the details of the dives as I don't want to spoil it for you, but I had a once in a lifetime experience and the scenery is stunning. I would recommend contacting the company directly, rather than using a third party, It was cheaper to do so. All in all, I recommend this company anyone that is thinking of diving in the area. Thanks for the experience.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
St Lucia Certified Scuba Diving Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Choc.
How much does St Lucia Certified Scuba Diving Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $116 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Choc usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does St Lucia Certified Scuba Diving Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Choc is not rushed.
Is St Lucia Certified Scuba Diving Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 71 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Choc, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule St Lucia Certified Scuba Diving Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is St Lucia Certified Scuba Diving Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book St Lucia Certified Scuba Diving Tour?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Choc can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Choc and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does St Lucia Certified Scuba Diving Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Choc within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Choc?
+
On Outty we rank every Choc experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soufriere Volcano Experience, Soufriere Tour - Gems of the West, St Lucia Catamaran Day Sailing and Sightseeing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Choc?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Choc?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
