It’s the first dip into marital waters and where better than if you take a dive into honeymoon St Lucia.
Splashing around in the water is one of the joys of your first holiday as a married couple.
When you’re floating on air and think you can walk on water.
But you end up swallowing half of the Aegean Sea… or whichever water you choose.
All of which you’re reminded of when you catch up with the old Caribbean friends you have met over the years.
And they dangle a competition over your head if you’ve been paying attention and remember how many dive sites there are on the island.
Which one unambitious entrant (no, not me) had it pegged at just five.

There are, in fact, more than 22 on an island of 617 square kilometres.
And so you’ll near enough have the Caribbean or Atlantic waters to yourself.
Now it may be that your partner takes to the water like, well a water babe, and is a snorkelling natural.
All of which will mean your honeymoon will go off like a splash.
And it is guaranteed to in St Lucia which has been named the world’s leading honeymoon destination for the fifth year running.

Helpfully, our St Lucian hosts recommend Sol Sanctum as their hotel of the month.
