Has anyone dived at Coki Beach?? Can't decide between Coki Beach or just snorkle at Trunk Bay in June. Thanks!!

I have and it was quite a nice time. Coki Beach is a nice place to spend the morning, especially if are traveling with a mixed group of divers and non-divers.

I can't believe that someone would [I] choose[/I] to snorkel when they could dive instead. I find snorkeling to be way too restrictive.

If you haven't already, you might like to check out the [url="http://www.cokidive.com/"]Coki Beach Dive Club[/url] web site.

brucejr,
Thank you!
We have decided to go to Coki Beach and dive there. I was wondering if there are taxis available at coki Beach or do I need to call for one? We would like to see Megan's bay after Coki Beach, then back to the ship for shopping and Paradise tram.

Thanks!! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

You should have plenty of time to do all that if you go to Coki first thing in the morning. I think that is better anyway because you get there before the beach becomes more populated. Get a couple of dives in, then walk right next door to Coral World and there should be a taxi or 2 available. There are showers at Coki so you can wash off the saltwater without having to go back to the ship first before you go to your next destination.

have a super time

If you are using Coki Beach Dive Club, they will pick you up at the dock.

We did our first 2 certification dive with them
in March; had to go to the other side of the island that day due to wave conditions

Completed our cert dives in Barbados, two days
later.

I contacted Coki Beach Dive Club a little while ago. They will only pick you up if your ship arrives early enough (don't remember exactly when). But our ship will not arrive until 10:00 AM, which is too late. So if I wish to dive with them I'll have to take a cab.

last time I was in St. Thomas the cabi(which we grabbed in port right off of ship) dropped us off and asked what time we would like him to come back. We told him and he was right on time and would take us wherever we wanted. My husband dove on coki beach and loved it.

everyotheryear,

That's a great piece of info. We'll probably be doing the cab to and from.

BTW, we were on the Inspiration last year and we'll be on the Maasdam in October. I know that they're very different ships. How did you like the Maasdam?

thanks,
Marc

I went back looking thru my old cruise photo album and this photo was taken at Coki Beach. [img]http://www.cruise-forums.com/gallery/galleries/1300/35931.jpg[/img]
It was back before I had my digital camera, so this is an actual film photo. The camera was a Sea and Sea MX-5.
