Diving between March & April Site Help

[mickeyman]

I have a bit of a broad question that I could use everyone’s help with.

I have my choice between 4 locations to travel to between mid March and Mid April which are Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica or St Maarten.

Any suggestion and help deciding will be greatly appreciated also if you have a favorite dive shop at that location that would be great too

Shark diving in the Bahamas with Stuart Coves in Nassau would be my choice.

It would help if you would tell us why those particular places. Is it because of a cruise ship or time share? They aren't the usual vacation spots for diving.

Like RobinT said above, fill in the details.

For instance.... The "Bahamas" are a whole lot of islands. You couldn't pay me to dive off of Nassau, with a Shark Rodeo or not. Not after you've seen them in the wild off of San Salvador, anyway. Both are "the Bahamas".

If you are restricted to Nassau or Grand Bahama... then from the rest of the list, I would pick St. Maarten as "the best of the list", but way, way below the Out Islands of the Bahamas (thinking San Salvador, again).

I would pick Saba (just a short flight or boat trip from St. Marteen).

Yes it is because of timeshare trades. Had also thought about Cozumel but not sure about the high cost of "all Inclusive" at the properties

I suggest a liveaboard - we have 2 openings March 19 - 26 on the Caribbean Explorer II at a special price. And you can't beat St Kitts / Saba for island diving.

Yes, the Explorer is a good choice, or just come on down to visit us here at Dive St. Kitts at Bird Rock Beach Hotel! We dive everyday!!
