Ti kaye Village...
Well where should I start?
I started looking for a vacation spot in St. Lucia BWI and many choices were available. I needed a place with a good compromise between leisure and diving. Ant there it was Ti Kaye Village According to the fancy advertising they published on the net the place was exactly what we were looking for. They have their private beach with a wreck off within a short distance. The diving is reasonable, $50.00 Boat dive and $35.00 shore dive. Everything seamed to be pink and blue to me $2500.00 later. We showed up and the setting was as expected except the next day when I was ready to go dive they told m the dive boat does not pick up just one diver only. However the hotel could arrange a water taxi (for $100.00 round trip) for me to get to the boat if I wanted to dive. OUCH!!! not exactly what I expected! After a couple of hours I found a couple who wanted to go dive too so after some negotiating the boat was finally going to pick us up. Around 10am the boat showed up and backed up as far as 100 from he beach and the captain waved at us as if we were taking too long to come to him. We basically had to swim to the boat with our gear. What a shame The dive was actally nice but here is the deal about that place:
They advertise: In reality:
$35.00 shore dive. No shore dive because
on the island no one can
dive without a dive
master. And theres
none at the
hotel.
$50.00 Boat dive. One tank dives are
$60.00 and two tank
dives are $88.00
See it for yourself. Go to http://www.tikaye.com/scuba/index.html read the advertisement. I got ripped off. 6 days in St. Lucia and only one dive just because the boat would not pick me up.
