So, after all this I'm still left wondering how to get there from Houston without having to go to San Juan. Is anyone able to tell me how to get to St. Maartan direct from Houston? Thanks in advance.

I've also seen Fort Young mentioned fairly often. But it's not a "dive lodge" like Castle Comfort.
There's actually a bunch of interesting/upscale looking little places there, but I haven't figured out which ones might make suitable bases for diving. If you really want upscale, one to look at might be Secret Bay (no, I haven't been there, but they do mention diving on their web site.) It's Northwest rather than Southwest like the others. (I'm pretty sure you want something west...)

Jewelry? On a dive trip? Say it isn't so...Thanks topsailsun. I'm not giving up though. There must be a way even if needs be spending a night somewhere else. I'm anti SJU only because a friend of mine had her locked bags rifled there and actually had something taken. I disremember what that was because the most shovking part was her travel buddy situation. For whatever reason, the travel buddy had packed her camera, jewelry and don't know what all in the checked bag. Lost it all to whomsoever rifled her bag.
