Western Carribean-Where should I dive?

[29eleven]

Taking my first cruise in Sept. We are doing the western Caribbean with stops in 1. Labadee, Haiti; 2. Falmouth, Jamaica; 3. Cozumel, Mexico;

Trying to figure out which places I should dive and who to dive with besides the RCCL. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Definitely want to dive at least one place but may do two.

Cozumel would be my first choice.

Cozumel has a strong current. You swim to stay in one spot. Keep this in mind. I have no idea about diving in Jamaica. One day plan to get to Hondurus and Belize- there is some pretty great diving there!

Labadee - no diving that I'm aware of, it would have to be an RCCL tour and I don't recall there being one.

 

Falmouth - no diving that I've heard of - no posts here

 

Coz - search and you'll find plenty of opinion and recommendations right here . . .

search COZUMEL in this forum

Cozumel is beautiful water. It is drift diving. Read up on it and ask questions.

 

Blue Angel diving is who we dive with when we go. We have always been pleased.

We just came back from Freedom of the Seas

Labadee snorkled

Jamaica we heard the diving was not good so again we did a snorkel excursion

Grand Cayman we went out with Cayman Turtle Divers. They picked us up by the port, they take 6 divers max

.

Cozumel Eagle Ray Divers. 6-8 divers, there were 4 on ours. Took a taxi to the marina $8 and they had one waiting for us when we returned.

 

People talked about the current. It was by far one of the most beautiful dives I've done. There is more currents where i dive now then we experienced in Cozumel. I think they also watch for certain conditions.

My husband liked Grand Cayman better but we both would dive both again in a heart beat:D

Thanks for all the info. Looking forward to the cruise and some great dives.

Definitely do Cozumel, we used Dive with Martin and had a great time. However the DM that took us out that time has branched out and has his own business now and we will be using him coming up in Dec, I HIGHLY recommend him.https://sites.google.com/site/scubapabloczm/
