    St johns or St thomas

    Both have excellent beaches. It also depends on where you are staying, some resorts have better beaches then others. Caneel Bay on St. John (no "s") has amazing beaches. There's also a number of other beaches on St. John to visit; Trunk Bay (pay as part of the Natl. Park) also a number of...

    Chris Sawyer Diving St. Saint Thomas - Review

    Brandon, maybe you should step off you soap box for a minute and evaluate your posts. I don’t know about the business/company where you work but it’s pretty degrading to post and assume that any email you send will get “accidentally” deleted or forgotten about. Now you’re slandering everyone at...

    Chris Sawyer Diving St. Saint Thomas - Review

    Hey Scubabrandon, Like some of the other posts, it’s really too bad that you didn’t enjoy your dives and your experience at Chris Sawyer. As someone who used to work there (back in the mainland for a bit) I can say your description is not at all typical of the operation. Also sorry to...

    Water Temps! Hot, Hot, Hot!

    Just back today from Fort Lauderdale and the water is scary warm (for hurricane season). Surf temp on a shore dive (out to the Jacks at the Yankee Clipper) was 90° and my mosquito was never below 86° the entire trip. For the most part 88° seemed to be the temp of choice, Hog Heavn 75', 88°, same...

    ST. THOMAS or St. Maarten diving?

    What compass do you use and where do you keep it?

    when teaching or leading dives a Sk-7 on retrator on BCD. Makes it easy to "share" and not have it dropped. Also less to put on / take off between dives. Personal, wreck or tech I use a wrist mount. Don't want the danglies getting caught on something.

    ST. THOMAS or St. Maarten diving?

    My wife and I both use to be instructors at Chris Sawyer (temporarily back on the mainland!), and the sites will vary depending on a couple of things. Who's on the boat: what have the dove, what requests do they have, etc. Also weather, Chris Sawyer has a great advantage in that they can...

    ST. THOMAS or St. Maarten diving?

    The Renaissance (Grand Palace), the hotel near Coki Beach is closed so Chris Sawyer doesn't operate out of there. All of their boats leave from their main office in Red Hook, American Yacht Harbor. I've never dove St. Maaten but when I worked on St. Thomas, cruise ship passengers who'd been...
