sscruising Posted June 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hi: We will be cruising in August and my husband would like to know where are the best places for Scuba & snorkeling-he just received his PADI cert. and is anxious to go out. He is most interest in St. Lucia, Antigua or Barbadoes. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubajeff Posted June 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2004 From everything I have read and from speaking to different DMs, Roatan is the best. I heard this from my dive instructor and from other divers when i was in Hawaii.

Grand Cayman is good, as well as Curacao. Next down the scale is St. Thomas. Aruba is just OK and St Maarten was quite disappointing. Hawaii has very interesting marine life, but the underwater scenery is very lacking in color. It is all hard coral, a dull light brown color. British Columbia has excellent diving, but different than the Caribbean . I know Alaska would also be good. <font color="FF6600"> if there's a way to construe my post as non-argumentative, please do so.</font> Cruise photos on my [url="http://www.brobertson.org/"]Home page [/url]<font color="990066"> Spring Break was on the Grand Princess </font>21, March 2004 So when is the next cruise?

simonv Posted August 18, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2004 The best in the world is Indonesia or Papau New Guinea on liveaboard. Don't bother with Carribean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsmaster Posted August 19, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Cozumel, Grand Cayman, St. THomas, Greneda were all good. Bermuda was good as well. Key west disappointing. Aruba was ok......Puerta Vallarta was ok....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsterjohn Posted August 19, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2004 My favorites so far are Roatan and Cozumel. Like the other poster stated, Key West was not too good, eithor was Cancun although I suspect that there are alot better dive sites in Cancun than the one I was taken to.

Any suggestions about sites, guides, boats, tours, etc. for snorkeling? We're pretty experienced snorkelers, living in Hawaii. Mahalo plenty!
