Celebrity - certified scuba excursions

[lunula]

To those who have been on the "certified diver only" excursions offered through Celebrity, can you provide any further detail on where the dive sites are? The excursion descriptions have almost no detail at all - is this because it could change based on conditions?

 

Specifically, I see the following ports have certified-diver excursions, but no descriptions:

• Philipsburg, St. Maarten
  
• Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas
  
• Willemstad, Curacao
  
• Oranjestad, Aruba
  

Anyone know the specific dive sites? We are putting together some private dives, too, but we may try 1 or 2 offered by Celebrity, just to get a feel for how they run them.

 

Thanks!

gee ... do ya think?

 

Almost any dive op I've used adjusts 'where' to the weather and who might have gotten there first!

 

I'll say 'almost' cuz I have been on dives that promised a specific site, like a trip to a wreck (Rhone comes to mind) sadly these dives sometimes go to places promised but have poor conditions .... IMO a GOOD operator is the one who reads the conditions and makes a site recommendation.

 

I've dove the same site dozens of times. Some days it was great, some days it was average and a few days it was OUTSTANDING. and on the days it looked bad, went someplace else.
