      Best Dives of Grenada, St. Vincent & the Grenadines - Joyce Huber

      Planning Your Trip

      To plan your best dive vacation, consider first the type of trip that interests you most. It may be a stay at a luxury resort, a week's tour on a live-aboard yacht or an excursion into the wilderness. Then check the best time of year to go. A week of bad weather or rough seas can turn any vacation sour. Most areas experience a predictable rainy season. And, though no one can guarantee the weather, each chapter discusses local weather patterns and suggests a best time of year to go.

      Finally, consider your budget. You'll note a wide range of live-aboards and land accommodations throughout this guide, plus the appropriate contact for additional information at the end of each chapter.

      All rates are quoted in US dollars unless otherwise stated, and are subject to change without notice.

      Using This Guide

      Quick-reference symbols are used throughout this guide to identify diving and snorkeling areas. Each has been given a rating of from one to five stars by prominent divemasters in the area.

      *****  Five stars. Best of the best diving; best visibility, best marine life, best reef or kelp dive.

      ****   Four stars. Fantastic dive. Outstanding marine life or visual interest.

      ***    Three stars. Superb dive. Excellent visibility and marine life or wreck.

      **     Two stars. Good dive. Interesting fish and plant life. Good visibility.

      *       One star. Pleasant dive. Better than average.

      CRUISES AND PACKAGE TOURS

      Hundreds of dollars can be saved by choosing a package tour offered by dive-tour operators, airlines, resorts and dive shops. For example, one package to Guadeloupe includes airfare and hotel for $100 less than the airfare alone. Package tours with diving are listed throughout this guide.

      Be sure to read the fine print carefully when you are comparing tours, and to allow for the potential added costs of transfers, sightseeing tours, meals, auto rentals, acceptable accommodations, and taxes. Tanks and weights may or may not be included. Also ask whether extra airline weight allowances are included for dive gear.

      HANDICAPPED DIVERS

      Handicapped divers will find help and information by contacting the Handicapped Scuba Association (HSA). The association has provided scuba instruction to people with physical disabilities since 1975. Over 600 instructors in 24 countries are HSA-trained. HSA has developed the Resort Evaluation Program to help handicapped divers select a vacation destination. They check out facilities and work with the staff and management to ensure accessibility. Once a resort is totally accessible it is certified by HSA.

      For a list of HSA-certified resorts, group-travel opportunities and more information on HSA's programs, instruction and activities, visit their Website at www.hsascuba.com. Contact HSA International, 1104 El Prado, San Clemente, CA 92672; tel. 949-498-4540; hsa@hsascuba.com.

      MONEY

      Most large resorts, restaurants and dive operators will accept major credit cards, although you risk being charged at a higher rate if the local currency fluctuates. Travelers' checks are
