Island Divers – St. Lucia Scuba Diving At Its Best
Island Divers at Ti Kaye Resort and Spa is part of the resort operation and is a well equipped fully functioning PADI dive center, one of the best the island has to offer. From its humble beginnings back in 2003, as the resort developed and expanded, so did the dive center. Fully furnished with a new dock, training room for certification courses, variety shop and 36′ Newton dive boat, Island Divers has raised the bar of the typical dive experience. By far the most important asset of Island Divers is our team members. Their knowledge of their craft is unparalleled and upstaged only by their easy going and carefree nature; justly a fantastic bunch to work with.
sland Divers truly is a divers’ perfect one stop shop for everything dive related, located on the beach. Island Divers is located in the marine reserve of Anse Cochon. This means divers have access to two amazing house reef shore dives and some of the best dive spots on the island, including the Lesleen M wreck; a 165-foot freighter that was sunk in our bay in 1986 by the fisheries department to become an artificial reef. It is the only accessible wreck dive on island and is so close to us, we sometimes kayak out to it! Due to our location, apart from our shore dives and the wreck dive, we have 3 other dives sites within a 3 minute boat ride and 10 other dive sites within 25 minutes!
First timers are welcomed as our patient instructors will take you by the hand, only letting go when you are more comfortable. Come experience a whole new underwater world and book your adventure today. A full range of PADI Certification, PADI Specialty Courses and Discover Scuba Diving packages are available too.

Can my spouse come on the boat without diving themselves?
Yes. Your non-diving partner may come along and will be charged a snorkeling boat trip fee.
Are there diving courses available for non-certified persons?
Absolutely. Non-certified persons and first-timers interested in diving may take certification courses with Island Divers. Be sure to view our rates section for more details.
Are there minimum numbers necessary for diving trips?
Yes. A minimum of four (4) and a maximum of twelve (12) divers are required for each diving trip. As persons book these boat excursions frequently, these numbers tend to be met easily. However, guests will be informed of any schedule changes prior to the time of departure.
What happens if I use up all my air?
Dive instructors and/or your diving buddies will have an alternate air source that will allow their air supply to be shared while resurfacing. For certified divers this is unlikely to happen because a gauge that should be checked frequently would remind you of your remaining air supply. In the case of a beginner diver, the dive instructor will monitor student diver’s air supply frequently throughout the dive.
What would you recommend eating and drinking before attempting to scuba dive?
Eating and drinking normally is perfectly fine. However alcohol is not recommended at all as it may impair divers ability and judgement underwater.
What are the most common injuries or sicknesses associated with diving?
Sun burn and sea sicknesses are our most common injuries, however both of these can be easily prevented by the use of sunscreen and motion sickness medication. Other common injuries involve scraps and bruises from reefs. We advise vigilance when coming into contact with these.
Are there sharks in Saint Lucia?
Unfortunately (!) encounters with snarks are extremely rare in our waters.
Do I need to know how to swim to dive?
Dive students are required to either be able to swim using any technique for 200 metres/yards (or 300 metres/yards in mask, fins and snorkel) or float/tread water for 10 minutes using any method.
What is your cancellation policy?
Persons are required to cancel scheduled diving trips 24 hrs before the time of departure and will be billed for 50% of the cost of the scheduled dive trip. No notice of cancellation means that we will have to charge the full amount of the trip.
