West Indies

These are the dives that we've done in the West Indies, including the Windward Islands, Leeward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago and Bonaire.

I find it very frustrating that some countries notably St Lucia, Dominica and the Grenadines in St Vincent require all scuba diving to be done with a commercial dive centre or a local dive guide.  This in my mind is blatantly trying to line the pockets of the commercial dive centres. I see no need to put this kind of restriction on cruising yachts.  I think that they ought to follow the lead of world class diving areas such as Bonaire and the BVI, who charge a modest fee for a permit, but allow divers autonomy.
