St Kitts / Nevis

Hello all,
I haven't posted in awhile, but am happily on my way to St Kitts and Nevis
for a last minute trip next week. I scrolled through the subject matter and
only saw one inquiry about this location. Any opinions on dive operations /
locations there?

Much obliged and many thanks,
MH

Each to their own, I really like the service at Oualie Beach. Very informal,
a couple of years ago the owner's car wasn't working so he rode a horse to
the dive shop.

Once they saw I wasn't getting into all that humor, they mellowed out and
took care of business. I'd use them again.

I should also mention they're the only scuba shop on the island.
