I am going on a cruise ship beginning in April. The stops are St. Kitts, Barbados. St. Lucia. and St. Marteen. Which island would you recommend for diving? I will have 3 teenage boys who just got certified diving with me. Suggestions on dive shops will also be greatly appreciated. ut: Thanks to all that reply.:guitarist

I love Barbados! I've been using Coral Isle aka The Wet Shop http://www.coralisle.net/ when I've been on the island (I have a time-share condo there) Kip will pick you up at the quai side, take you diving and return you to your ship.

A few pics from a visit to Barbados can be found on a friend's web site Barbados pics

Hi gfine1,

I have dove all of these at least once, and St. Maarten & Barbados several times each.

I'd rank order them Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts & St. Martin.

On Barbados I like High Tide Water Sports http://www.divehightide.com/where.html

On St. Lucia, I like Frog's http://www.frogsdiving.com/

Do enjoy.

Last time on was on Barbados I was participating in a research project and stayed at the Belairs Institute right beside Willy's shop -- but unfortunately he had pulled his boat out of the water (it was the "off season for most tourists")... but he came over and had dinner with the group a number of times, even had a unique way of assisting on the BBQ --I'll try to dig up the pic, you'll get a chuckle.
