Situated on the beach of Salisbury, in the middle of the West coast. Run since 2002 by Harald Zahn who speaks German and English, and his French wife Beatrice who speaks French, English, German, Italian and Spanish. They have two dive boats, one for close-in diving and one for visiting sites further afield like Scotts Head. Offer relaxed diving and an idyllically situated beach bar. The dive centre is on the beach, reached by a steep set of steps down from the road. Very friendly: Harald even let our four-year old go on the boat with us. The place to go if you want uncrowded diving from a palm-fringed setting.

"Boat and equipment in good condition... well taken care of. HIGH value for dollar. Compared to the others... ALDive is the best dive operation on the island, in my opinion, having tried several of the others."

"Based in Soufriere so very short boat rides out to dives. We have dived there on 3 holdays. Karen and team can't do enough to help and the team are all competent, and really pleasant. All the diving is excellent. The team are responsive to divers' wants and needs. We had our best ever dive here with Oscar - a night dive of magnificent sights and (safe) adventure! Best dive operator we've dived with - diving is varied and always interesting and no long boat rides to the sites. Karen Moise is the owner/manager and will make every effort to meet all your needs - car hire, accommodation, recommendations, hikes/tours. Would and will dive there again - well organised, good value, great divemasters, small groups, packages, their own accommodation right by the sea, great location in the marine reserve"
