Diving St Maarten & St Thomas

[Jim V]

I'm taking a Carnival cruise in May that includes St Maarten and St Thomas. Does anyone have any suggestions for dive operators?

The diving in St Maarten stinks unless you can get over to Saba which is usually out of line with the cruise ships timeline. In St. Thomas, Underwater Adventures is a good op and right on the docks. Once again, they cater to the cruise ship timeline, so it make be a quickie.

There are some dive operators in St Thomas that even offer pickup from your cruiseship dock. Forgot the names but do a search and you will find them. They make this offer on their websites.

I usually skip diving in St. Maarten. If you do go out, the cruise ship vendor seems to be a good option (which is usually not the case).

In St. Thomas, I like Chris Sawyer and Blue Island Divers. I also go out with St. Thomas Diving Club, but they're definitely not for everyone. All three will make accommodations for cruise ship divers.
