LaurenPetersen Posted December 30, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi! We want to do some snorkeling possibly some scuba diving on our cruise. We could go in either St. Thomas or St. Martin. Which one is better? Is there anywhere we should/ should not go? Are there any good groups to go with? Thanks for your help! Lauren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcrow Posted December 30, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 30, 2008 St. Thomas is generally a better option than St. Maarten. Try Coki Beach on St. Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted December 31, 2008 #3 Share Posted December 31, 2008 St. Thomas is generally a better option than St. Maarten. Try Coki Beach on St. Thomas. I agree, especially if you have a mixed group of divers/non-divers and want to stay together. http://www.cokidive.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patti627 Posted January 7, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2009 We just came back from a cruise which included both. St. Thomas was pretty good. St. Martin was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted January 7, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 7, 2009 We just came back from a cruise which included both. St. Thomas was pretty good. St. Martin was awful. Unfortunately, this is TRUE! Do your snorkeling in St.Thomas (or, better yet, from there to St.John) and have a great beach day in St.Martin! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseQueen13 Posted January 14, 2009 #6 Share Posted January 14, 2009 St. Thomas or ferry over to St. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaLarry54 Posted January 16, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Agreed, St. Thomas is much better. Secret Harbor, Coki Beach, and Saphire are three to check out. I like Coki, but unfortuantely not when the cruise ships are in (no offense) as it tends to get crowded. It does have the best snorkeling, and the dive operation is right ther at a trailer on the beach. Check around the right of the big rocks toward the aquarium and we usually see squid in that area. You have to look close. St Thomas, it's the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
