Does anyone have any experience with taking a group dive from a cruise ship that docks at 8am? Any tips or suggestions?
The stop in St. Thomas a couple of weeks ago was 8 AM to 3:30 PM. I was off the ship by 8:15, on board the dive boat by 8:45 and back in time for lunch!
It's been a long time since I dove Key West, but Capt's Corner used to have daily trips departing at 9:30 AM.
Also, depending on the day of the week and the number of people in your group other ops could provide you with a charter departure that fits your needs.
Finally, be aware that a lot of the morning trips in Key West are to the wreck of the Vandenberg and given your experience may not be the best choice.
Call them up and see what they say.
