Caribbean cruise. Which dive location

[smithee68]

Hi all,


Im going on a cruise next september with stops in St. Thomas, St. Maarten, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Kitts and Dominica. I need to choose three islands to dive. Suggestions/Operators?? Why or why not?? Thanks a lot!!

I think St. Martin/Sint Maarten is an underrated destination. They have some cool wrecks and reefs: St. Martin | Les Fruits De Mer

We dive there regularly and really like Octopus Diving:

I've never dived on any of the other islands, so I can't really say how they compare. I would say on St. Martin there is a wide variety of sealife, perhaps more than in some places that are more popular diving destinations in the Caribbean that I've been to.

When in St. Thomas I can highly recommend Blue Island Divers. Spent all last week diving with them. They are a first class, customer service operation. Depending on where the ship docks, you can either walk to their shop at the Crown Bay Marina or they will pick you up at the downtown cruise ship pier.

Drop DJ and Annabel an e-mail at barefoot@blueislanddivers.com.

I disagree. St. Maarten would be at the bottom of the list of those islands.

I'd dive St. Thomas, St. Lucia, and Dominica.
