We just got back from our STT trip of 7 days. We dove with Admiralty Dive Center for four days on these sites: Miss Opportunity, Saba Rocks, WIT Concrete, Eastwind, Kennedy, Armando's Pardise, Miss Opportunity, Captain's Nightmare. We had an excellent time diving with A.D.C. and were guided by either Fishbutt or Brian, on each one of the dive sites. Our lodging was at Villa Olga which worked out fine as we were able to walk only a few minutes down the road to the dive boat each morning. There was a little coffee shop called Frenchtown Deli that kicked off each dive day with a very good cup of java:coffee:, bagels, etc. For other meals, we stayed nearby the hotel because we didn't rent a car. For dinner, we ate at: Hook Line & Sinker, Pie Whole, Craig and Sally's, Betsy's Bar, Frenchtown Deli for take-out. We did one grocery shop at the nearby Pueblo market to pick up breakfast and lunch items as our room had a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. To save some $, we tried to keep the eating out for dinner only after our initial grocery shop on day 3. We had only two beach days, our first was at Bolongo Bay Beach Resort which is the sister property of Villa Olga, so we could use the facilities here for free. I was able to get a few hours of windsurfing in and the wife had a beach chair, umbrella. We also had some decent snorkelling conditions at this beach. For our second beach day, we took the Dolphin Water Taxi to Jost Van Dyke, BVI. This was a great swimming and partying beach with a chill out bar called One Love with excellent lobster quesadillas and Bushwhacker frozen drinks. Our final day was spent taking a taxi tour to the top of the mountain and through downtown and then on to the airport for our flight. We really enjoyed this low hassle island trip and diving with Admiralty Dive Center operators.
