There are many dive spots at the East and West walls at Salt River. I've probably been to each of them several times. Not so much since Anchor Dive closed. Almost always have reef sharks investigating. I think in general the shore dive to the wall at Davis Bay is as good as a boat dive at...

I liked Jupiter Dive Center but they're in Florida, not Lesser Antilles

Don't know about Grenada but I think STX diving (wall, wrecks, pier) is far better and diverse than STT. But I have done much more STX diving than STT. Not a lot of shore diving on STX but Davis Bay and Cane Bay are great for shore diving the wall and of course there's the pier. Not too many...

Re: "There’s really not much in the way of shore diving near either of our locations." But what he didn't say is you can shore dive the north shore wall at Davis Bay at Carambola Resort. The Cruise ships already take a bus there (I've stayed there, the beach turns from empty to Jersey...

I don't know if there are any logistics issues diving the STX pier while your big cruise ship is parked next to it or with the herd of people flocking around while you're getting in and out. I've only done the pier while no ships were there. Anchor Dive is quick and easy to get to the wall...

It's not Wyndham anymore.

The East and West walls out of Salt River have great diving when the surf is reasonable and only a 5 minute boat ride with Anchor Dive. I've always had good diving weather there in July.

Coki Beach Dive center is nearby, good for a quick shore dive, looks like they have a small boat now too. Red Hook Dive Center for a bigger boat. Haven't been there since Chris Sawyer closed. Sugar Bay resort has nice views, beach, and pools.

Ah, but the ride out to West Caicos and back relaxing on the bow or upper deck on Fifi's Caicos Cat makes the time go by quickly. You just can't plan to do much in the afternoon when you get back.

Wow, Coki Beach Dive has a boat now. Last time I was there all they had was the dive box-truck parked in the parking lot next to the beach. But it was a great option, we brought our own gear and rented their tanks and they let us store our dry stuff while we were down under. Coki is a nice...

Arguably best shore dive is Davis Beach at Carambola, the wall is a short swim straight out. Beach is public access but "go for lunch" so you can park at the hotel and bribe a bell hop to haul your gear to the beach on the golf cart. Cane bay is supposed to be good too but I haven't done a...

On typical warm water day boat dives in Florida, Carribean, Hawaii with DM we usually tip $5.00 a tank for the two of us for the DM/crew. Captains are typically salary and say they don't get tips but the "crew" appreciates it.

I dove with an op on KONA that had powdered soup and hot chocolate packets along with thermos of hot water. Both of these worked well for warm up. OK, so water wasn't in the 40s but for night dives with 3/4mm wet suit it was still a big help.

Funny, that's what they used to say about Provo.

What 1erCRU said about Dive Provo, pretty much the same for Caicos Adventures. Fifi's Caicos Cat is probably the nicest dive boat in the Caribbean for comfort. Just returned from 3rd trip diving with Fifi. Just don't get too excited about his sandwiches between dives. Of course this assumes...

Keep in mind that pretty much all the independent dive ops on Provo will pick you up from any hotel in Grace Bay area so it's easy to use another if you don't mind paying the extra $$$. I recall being on the Caicos Adventures bus a few years ago picking up divers from Beaches. Diving at...

Can only comment in Provo T&C. They do use dollars so that makes it simple. Provo intentionally caters to the rich tourists so generally everything is expensive compare to U.S. and somewhat to other islands. Diving is excellent and dive prices are posted on dive ops web sites. It's about a...

I used to only carry on regs and computer. Then I had luggage and gear bags miss-routed several times. I don't pay for checked bags as a frequent flier but that doesn't stop them from loosing luggage. Sometimes to another country. After getting blisters from rental fins I started carrying on...

You can shore dive the Davis Wall at Davis Beach at the Carambola. It's a short 100 yd swim out and a great wall dive. The only resort/hotel on St Croix with a shore dive. The beach is public but if you're not staying at the Carambola the logistics could get tricky as you have to go through...

Caicos Adventures is a good dive op and their 3 tank dive on Thursdays is no more advanced than any other day. The ride to West Caicos may seem long but the Caicos Cat is probably the best dive boat in the Caribbean so the ride goes by fast. You can lay out on the bow or hang out up on the...
