Hi what hotels are dog friendly and easy shore diving?
Thnx

Good question...and might be mutually exclusive. I'm off to bed now; please send me a PM about this and I'll get back to you about it. Not a lot of dog friendliness here.

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 the resort to get to it. They have a dive op on site http://sweetbottomdive.com/ and I'm guessing if you rent gear or at least tanks from them (if not a dive guide) they will help you out and maybe get you into the parking lot.

I just dove Carambola the other day for the first time, friends who dive with them every week invited me and we had a great time. They bring a golf cart up to the parking lot for your gear, take you to the shop to set up or if you need to rent gear, then take you and gear to the beach. They of course appreciate if you get your air fills from them or rent tank and weights. My friends who go there weekly said there is no charge for the delivery service, so I tipped the young man who drove me around $10. A good deal in my opinion.

Deeper, I just ran a hotels.com search and it looks like the only pet friendly hotels are The Palms At Pelican Cove and Hibiscus Beach Resort. Not known for their beach diving. There are a bunch of pet friendly units on vrbo.com.
