My wife and I dove with Chris Sawyer in Feb 2004. He runs a very professional operation. The dive of the Rhone is not to be missed. It consists of a nice boat ride down the Drake Channel followed by a couple of nice dives on a neat wreck. It is a great way to see alot of the Islands. Have fun!

Ditto on chris's op.....and his shop is at the Rennaisance Hotel....which can have some pretty decent deals...
If you do the Rhone....be sure to take your passport...it is in British waters.
Also....cheap eats in town....and in local small places...hotel food...EXPENSIVE

I can give a third recommendation for Sawyer's op. You won't be sorry.

I was there last month. I dove with Blue Island Divers. They ran a great organization and had a great boat. They did no hand holding and at the most, only 4 customers on board. I've heard that Sawyer's does quite a bit of hand holding.

The diving in St. Thomas is so easy I don't think you need any hand holding. Sawyer's op definitely assessed skill level on the first dive and paid appropriate extra attention to newer divers.
