Review of West end Divers

Excellent diving!! The instructors and staff were all phenomenal and the diving was incredible! I was pleasantly surprised by the health of the reef as there was very little bleaching and tons of life. The weather was pretty terrible with the rain and waves but once we were under water it was great! I got a little sick from the choppy waters on the boat but they took care of me at the dive shop in between dives. Our second dive was at the wall which was stunning. Much better reef health than much of the rest of the Caribbean, Japan, and a lot of Hawaii.

On a side note, the transportation to the dive shop from the cruise terminal can be vastly improved.

Our driver picked us up in an unmarked, un signed, extremely dirty old car. After much debate we finally agreed to get in and we headed towards the west end. Without ANY warning he pulled to the side of the road in a rough part of town, got out of our car and hopped in a van across the street and took off... out of no where two younger guys get in the front seats and begin to drive off. My wife and I, absolutely shook and confused, open the doors and hopped out of the vehicle. Who are these guys?! After about 20minutes of them trying to convince us they work for west end (poor if any English) they showed us their dive card showing west end certified them. With a LOT of trust we reluctantly got back in the car for a very nervous 20 minute drive to the shop. It was a terrible and frightening experience for my wife and I.

We can now look back at it and laugh considering the diving was superb but what a traumatic experience!
