Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate it. I have fun with drift diving, but sometimes find it frustrating (i.e. carrying a flag or trying to swim in place to snap a good photo, etc), but you've got me convinced that Superman's Flight would be a good dive. Do you have any recommended diver operators?
BTW, I've dove all over Cancun, Cozumel, Mayan Riviera, Florida, (and Jamaica as my first dives), etc. - so really what classifies as "unique" for me is stuff I haven't seen before! Things I might see out here that I wouldn't see in Mexico / Florida (although I'm assuming it's mostly the same life).
You both made it easy to eliminate St. Maarten & Barbados Sounds like St. Maarten has great beaches, so I'll be there!
I'm going to be diving in Vieques, Puerto Rico before the cruise sets sail too - any experience with good dive ops there? If I get any more dives in, it might be one on St. Kitts or St. Thomas, but sounds like St. Kitts would be a nice one to explore the rain forest on. Thanks again guys!

Lot of questions buried in there: I'll try and answer 'em all.
- Superman's flight is a really nice dive. I did it with Tommy from Frogs. He had a decent rep, so I went with him, although I would describe him as solid and reliable rather than spectacular.
- St Martin is actually a nice cruise destination generally. I just like to wander around Phillipsburg - good food, good shops, nice atmosphere. Beach is right there in town. Not always true of Caribbean cruise destinations.
- I have never dived out of PR. I have dived Vieques, but only off my own boat. There used to be an operation there called Vieques Divers, with the imaginative slogan Come Down With VD! Hope they are still in business, but I haven't been down that way since the 80s.
