Soufriere - The Pinnacles

In St. Lucia, you are required to dive with a guide so we enlisted Chester from Action Adventure Divers. He picked us up in his boat and we set off for the Pinnacles -- four seamounts that begin more than 70 feet deep and rise to within a few feet of the surface. The pinnacles were originally volcanic but are now encrusted with a colorful variety of corals and sponges. Fish spiral around them and we felt like we were flying around underwater mountains. The colors were incredible, bright oranges and pinks along with neon greens. We will definitely do some more diving while we are here.
