Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no Bonaire-style national dive tag for St. Vincent itself in the current visitor guidance. The fee structure you are most likely to notice as a traveler is in the Tobago Cays Marine Park, where park entry, moorings, and certain commercial activity fees are published by the park authority and can be paid online through TCMP PAY. Immigration extensions are the other planning fee worth knowing in advance.
