Diving

[mzhibbs]

We may be considering diving while in St. Martin next Oct. I orginally planned to do the ship's dive in Nassau but it seems it's no longer being offered on the Mariner. Any advise as to dive opperators and diving experience here.

 

Thanks!

Family did dive in St Thomas., this past October. Water was clearer than St Martin. If you want that info let me know

I'm really torn, we are suppose to charter a day sail for the whole family in St. Thomas and it really sounds awsome. Now if we could do that in St. Martin instead and dive in St. Thomas I would be up for that.

My wife and I went diving when we were on Golden last year. I think that St Thomas would be a better choice, but there is no such thing as "bad dive".

 

In any event, we used LeRoy French from http://www.stmaartendiving.com. It was really nice - only 4 people, relaxed and easy.

 

Enjoy.

We dove together in Belize 2003! :D Hows your Hubby and mom? Good to see you are still diving. Just got back from an eastern on the Triumph Oct 23 - 30, 2004. I dove in St Thomas with Blue Island Divers. They pick you up at the end of the dock.

We dove a wreck (The Kennedy) and I think the T Tables. Lots of Southern Rays on both. A turtle greeted us on the second dive and found a :eek: sleeping nurse shark( Of course I had to pet it).

The vis could have been better, but any dive is better than no dive.

In St Maarten I dove with the Divi Resort Dive Shop. ;)

I Call the Resort 011-599-542-2333 and was transfered to the dive shop. I gave my name to reseve my spot. The vis was alot better. We dove the Carib Cargo wreck. There was some current. Twice as many southern rays and a they don't fear us so you can get close for pictures if you go it slow. A nice spoted eagle ray finished that dive. Second dive was the H.M.S. Proselyte. Lots of current but the dive went quickly(So it seemed).

What ship are you going on??
