Advantages: Definately the best side of the island for Diving. Disadvantages: None except it goes really quiet in the winter.
and sandy, the sea slopes gently, no rocks like Paphos area, but thats another story.
Sun beds lay along the sand, but it wasn't too busy in October. The ideal time for ScubaDiving I would say. On the main part of the beach were a couple of sea-sport sun shelters, where you could book most of the sporting activities, these were constantly busy.
Parascending was one of our favourite, the views from the top were fantastic. First my partner Chirs went up, while I took photos from the boat. They didn't charge for me to come along for the ride. From where I was sitting the parachute looked like a speck in the blue sky, it certainly reached great heights.
I decided then, that I would have a go. I would recommend anyone to try this, it's easy, comfortable and safe.
Water sk-ing, jet ski-ing, banana boating, are great fun but you can ...
Advantages: Good land facilities and attraction for the regular diver Disadvantages: Needs better novice area
Only visited couple of times but both times they seemed to be a lack of friendliness from the staff, although the facilities where better than some other sites I had visited.

The novice area is spoilt with the two training platforms located in the narrowest point and the only safe natural route to the slip way exit point (for a novice diver) . It really puzzels me why this area is used ...
Advantages: Relaxing, amazing and awe-inspiring Disadvantages: Can be costly
When I first travelled to Montserrat on field work, I had the opportunity to go scubadiving. My PhD supervisor is a keen diver, and as he was going to dive while we were out there, it was an opportunity for me to try it. As I have always wanted to learn how to scubadive, I went for it!
Initially I tried a resort dive, to see if I enjoyed it and felt comfortable with it. It would be pointless me doing a full course if I felt unhappy and frightened. The resort dive consists of a short pool session, where you are shown how to use your equipment and certain emergency procedures like, how to empty to your mask and how to share air. The second part is a guided dive in the sea. you are fully supervised by your instructor and shown the reefs in dive spot.
I loved it! Within 2 minutes of getting in the water, I was swimming past ...
