Stayed at Waterside Apartments and dive in St Micheal last year. Tine (pronounced Tina) will pick you up at the airport and rent you a car from her small fleet. If you have your own gear, she has tanks and weights set up in a secure dive prep area. Walk a few steps to the water and swim out...

Stayed on St Lucia and Grenada, Not Barbados. Grenada had better diving but I don't think you'll find much snorkeling from shore. You can get a sailboat from several places and head up to the Grenadines which I understand are lovely with even better diving. Not sure if 5 days is enough...

I'm a vacation diver, maybe 15-20 dives a year. I rented for years until getting some really poorly maintained stuff in Mexico. I new what I wanted and started looking on Craigs list and closeouts on websites. Put my kit together very inexpensively but good quality stuff. I figured it...

Saw reef sharks almost every dive at Provideciales a fews years ago in August.

My experience was the same as witchieblackcat01. Fall off and head down. We had one miss on Shakem due to mild current and someone leaving their lead on the boat.

Did Grenada Last August. Temps were 82-84 F and vis was usually 40-70 feet. All the wrecks we did were boat dives. They are unmarked so you need a good guide or gps fix to find them. Also most were deep. The Bianca C starts at around 110 feet. But it was an impressive wreck. Shakum was...

6 years and 80+ dives on my wrist puck. On it's second battery. My experience is Mares support is very responsive. Give them a shout.

Aquamarine Beach Houses in Providenciales (Turks and Caicos) Right on Grace Bay. Pool 1-4 bedroom beach houses. 5 min from groceries. No shore diving but ask the owners about their little secret... Many good dive ops to chose from. Flamingo divers was may Favorite. It's an expensive...

Had a couple nice days out of Islamorada. Dove With Sea Monkeys. Great little op with a nice 6-pack boat and very personal service. They put a DM on every dive (which I appreciate as a vacation diver) and even through in a wet suite with the basic 2 dive price which was cheaper than anyone else...

Dove with Conch. They were fine. But If you get down to Islamorada go with Sea Monkeys. Great folks with a six-pack boat. They put a DM in the water which I appreciate and include a wet suite in the basic 2-tank price. They were also cheaper than the other ops around there. Seamonkey's...

Nice shots. Be down there in a few weeks. Thanks for the preview.

Not trying to silt up the water too much but Beaches at Turks and Caios seems like a good fit. Probably not the cheapest option but the diving and all the gear is included as part of the AI package. You'll be on one the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. No shore diving but they have...

This was 4-5 years ago but I believe they still do it. They (Sandals) have at least 2 or 3 levels of all-inclusivness. The basic plan (the one we were on) gives you the cheap rooms usually without an ocean view and father from the action. Fine for us as we like it quite. You only get rail...

My wife is a non diver and enjoys "nature stuff" too. We are older and prefer quite fun. But I can recommend Couples. There are only in Jamacia, include 2 dives a day in the all inclusive plan. Usually plenty of distractions for non divers. Diving is only so-so but you can get a bunch of...

Had an M2 many years ago. The battery compartment is isolated from the electronics so a fresh water soak might clean the battery contacts. But just look in the compartment for corrosion. My M2 failed in less than a year due to "button issues" which was common according to Mares...

Hi T-mac, just back from Grenada. Looks like a cruisers paradise. The only dive site with moorings was the Sculpture park and you need a wrist band to dive it. (I think a few dollars US) It was an ok dive. I'm not a wreck guy but the Bianca C was very impressive. Do try to hit that...

Haven't been to Antigua but just back from Grenada. The diving was better than I expected. However Sandals probably won't take you to the best sites. Bianca C and Shakem are pretty deep. Sandals doesn't require computers so bottom time is short. As someone mentioned, 30 min. is...

I can report that ScubaTech is alive and well. The new owners Eveline, Frederique and Gilles have kept most of the old staff as near as I can tell. Great boutique op. Small groups, free nitrox, great customer service. And I thought the diving was very good. Bianca C was very...

Last 10 days of July. Staying at Lance Aux Epines. If you need a buddy let me know.

Anybody gone out with ScubaTech recently? Found some 3-4 year-old posts about them but nothing current. Hopefully they are still a good shop. They'll be very close to my resort which recommended them.
