Top On-Island Excursions – Diving and Snuba
Views of Saint Lucia are just as amazing below sea level. Divers can indulge in colorful coral reefs and abundant marine life at popular spots like the Key Hole Pinnacles or get carried away by the currents at Superman’s Flight, the drift dive named after the movie, located at the base of the Petit Piton.
A total of 23 diving locations can be found just off the shoreline island wide. For a less extreme alternative, SNUBA excursions ease divers into the water and descend no more than 20 feet. For the best diving on the island visit the SLTB Official Website or Cox and Company Activities.

VAT Corner
What as a Business?
For VAT purposes, “business” has a very wide meaning and can include activities on which no profit is made. Business includes a profession, vocation, trade, manufacture or undertaking of any kind whatsoever and an adventure or concern in the nature of trade but does not include an office or employment.
Business transactions which are liable to VAT are called taxable supplies. Those which are not liable to VAT are called exempt supplies. |

St. Lucia’s delegation at the welcoming ceremony included members of the St. Lucia Olympic Committee (SLOC) other officials and of course the athletes Levern Spencer (high jump), Darvin Edwards (high jump), Danielle Beauburn (swimming) and Beth Lygoe (Laser Radial).
Also in attendance was Saint Lucia Prime Minister, Hon. Dr. Kenny D. Anthony. During his stay in London, the Prime Minister will be meeting and joining the Saint Lucia Team as they prepare and compete in the Games. The Prime Minister, in his capacity as Chairman of CARICOM, will also be meeting other CARICOM teams who are participating in the Games.
Team Welcoming Ceremonies extend a formal welcome to the athletes who hear their national anthem played and flag rose. The ceremony featured a thrilling display of artist from London National Youth Theatre who did tumbles, cartwheels and bicycle tricks. One official described the team as “a mixture of punk celebration song, dance, acrobatics which is welcoming in every language.”
