How do I get to Bequia?
Currently routes to Bequia involve a stop at another country, Barbados and St Lucia or the most convenient, and then an onward flight either direct to Bequia or via St Vincent.
If you are flying with LIAT to St Vincent and arriving after 6.00pm you will need to overnight as the last ferry leaves for Bequia at 6.00pm. The Cobblestone Inn in Kingstown is situated very near the ferry dock which makes for an easy hop onto the ferry the next morning. If you prefer to overnight closer to the airport (it's approximately a 45 minute taxi ride from airport to ferry) have a look at Blue Lagoon, Beachcombers and Mariners
Airlines from North America : JetBlue from Boston, NYC and Fort Lauderdale, American Airlines from Miami, US Air from Charlotte, NC, Air Canada and Westjet from Toronto
From the UK and Europe: British Airways and Virgin Atlantic from Gatwick. Thomson also offer flights from Manchester. I can recommend Newmont Travel for flights.
Connecting flights from Barbados (BGI) and St Lucia (UVF) direct to Bequia with SVG Air or Air Mustique. If you need help booking either of these just let me know. As of 2017 the quoted Barbados to Bequia return flight for passengers connecting on the same day is approximately U$525.00 per person.

Can I book private instruction?

All private courses are taught by Cathy. Cathy has been a PADI Instructor since 1997 and has taught thousands of Discover Scuba sessions and other entry level courses. Having taught her daughter to dive starting at age 8 with a Bubblemaker course and progressing through courses to certifying her as a Master Scuba Diver at 12, Cathy has excellent experience with teaching children.
