My wife and I will be diving with Ocean Encounters Jan 8-22. We have five days of boat diving (though we can adjust to 7 if we need to).
My wife's a little nervous about diving in currents. We've been diving in Martinique, Bonaire, Belize, and Roatan, and haven't run into significant currents at any of them (well, Hol Chan in Belize, had some, but that's been the extent of it for us).
The posted schedule (subject to change, of course) is this:
Sunday: Tugboat / Sandy’s Plateau
Monday: Jan Thiel / Small Wall
Tuesday: Booby Trap / Saba Tugboat
Wednesday: Barracuda Point / Beacon Point
Thursday: Double Reef / Shipwreck Point
Friday: Eel Valley / Diver’s Leap
Saturday: Director’s Bay / Cornelius Bay
Do any of these have strong currents at this time of year for her to be wary of? Are any of these must-dive locations? If we only did 5 days of boat diving, which two days should we skip?
Finally, we also have 5 days of shore diving. How's the house reef at Lions Dive resort? We are quite fond of lazing around taking pics in under 20m of water.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
