Need advice on where to dive

[Nitrodog]

We will be on a cruise in February and are doing a two tank dive in Dominica with Nature Island diving. We were hoping to dive in Aruba but as we arrive at 11 am, it seems that the operators there do only one tank dives in the afternoon. The question is this, instead of diving in Aruba we could also dive in St. Lucia or St. Maarten. Is the diving on either of these islands reasonably good? Please advise.

St. Lucia, absolutely! MUCH better in my opinion than Aruba anyway. Don't bother with St. Maarten. While the diving there can be acceptable, if you're diving St. Thomas and St. Lucia, take the day and shop or beach it in St. Maarten.

St Lucia for sure. But they do have current - if that bothers you. If you're up for it there's nothing like flying the Pitons.
