    Overview

    Embark on an extraordinary journey, delving into a hidden facet of the Caribbean that few have the privilege to witness. This voyage of a lifetime offers you the opportunity to expand your sailing expertise while chasing the endless horizon alongside a fresh crew of companions. As you explore unspoiled dive sites in the Windwards, your scuba skills will be honed, and life on the water will provide you with both the tools and the inspiration to thrive on solid ground.

    Set sail on a remarkable 21-day advanced scuba voyage, specially designed for high schoolers, and open the door to a world of adventure and learning that few get to experience. Starting in the picturesque Marigot Bay, you'll swiftly adapt to life on the water, taking on various critical roles, from first mate to chef, skipper, and dive safety officer. This hands-on experience will see you and your crew expertly navigating your way from St. Lucia to Grenada, forging strong bonds and valuable leadership skills along the way.

    Throughout this exceptional journey, you'll delve deeper into your scuba knowledge, uncovering pristine dive sites only accessible by boat. You'll embrace the art of drift diving and earn multiple advanced PADI certifications through over 25 thrilling dives. As a rescue diver, you'll refine your skills in the captivating surroundings of Bequia's sloping reefs and the enchanting waters of the Tobago Cays. The voyage also takes you to the historic St. Vincent, where you'll wander through scenery made famous by the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, hiking to towering waterfalls in Wallilabou and exploring a hidden bat cave, reachable only with scuba gear, in Smugglers' Cove. Your exploration continues with a visit to the world's largest underwater sculpture garden, swimming past hundreds of statues. As you make landfall in Grenada, known as the Isle of Spice, you'll be enveloped by the fragrant scents of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and tropical flowers carried by the gentle breeze. During breaks from diving and sailing, you'll trek through massive volcanic islands and untouched mountain rainforests that remain off the beaten tourist path, adding a touch of eco-adventure to your extraordinary voyage. This 21-day experience is a blend of education, exploration, and unforgettable memories that will shape your future and foster lasting friendships.
