Opinions On Starting A Dive Charter In St Lucia

[cdiver2]

A friend in St L has asked me to to put this on the board.

He wants to start a dive op for advanced divers only, to dive on sea mounts and wrecks that are not visited by the usual dive ops. It would be small numbers and PADI upgrades available. A package would include flights and Hotel at very good rates compared to other ops.
Opinions gratefully accepted.

St Lucia is not a great dive destination, so I doubt you'd get much dive traffic. Although I dove there, diving was OK, it is more known for some great hotels and picturesque scenery. The roads are horrible. Also, if you just limit yourself to Advanced Divers, what exactly did you mean by Advanced Divers?, you cut the traffic down even more.

But what he is trying to do is go to the dive sites that are usually beyond the capabilities of the average vacation diver, the ones where the dive ops that are there now do not go to.
