The island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands is rapidly recovering from the storm(s) of earlier this year. St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures (SCUBA) had NO DAMAGE from the storms. We have even opened a NEW DIVE SHOP on the west shore of the island since the storms. We have an...

I'm going to answer a couple of factual questions for the sake of some of the divers here who have asked. A choice as to whether to attempt to retrieve the body will be made, as it should, by the family subject to legalities. I understand that Dr. Garman's wishes were that there be not attempt...

Split from another thread. Dr. Guy Garman died during his deep record attempt. This thread has been split into the Accidents forum in order to allow for stricter moderation Scubaboard friends I'm saddened to say that today's attempt at a world record deep dive ended in tragedy. Dr. Guy...

Got tank? Tomorrow (8/15/15) is the big day. Here's a pic of the tanks that just Dr. Garman will be using. That doesn't count the other 70+ tanks and rebreathers that will be used throughout the day. Our plan is to begin loading the boat(s) around 4am, head off the dock at 5:30a, and have...

Here's a not-as-cheesy video about the upcoming deep dive. I've never tried posting a YouTube link so I hope this works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=19&v=pKL1h4BIdC4

Regardless of who you dive with you'll have a blast diving St. Croix. Our diving is seriously THAT good. There are no dive shops on the island to avoid, we're all good and the diving is all EXCELLENT. As was mentioned earlier be sure to dive the Pier. It's easily (IMHO) one of the top 10...

Yes, August 15, 2015. ---------- Post added July 23rd, 2015 at 04:52 PM ---------- That's not going to be the case with this dive. Doc Deep told me yesterday that once the dive's done he will gladly share ANY information he has with ANYONE who wants it. Yes, several of those who have...

Actually there will be 3 vessels involved. The you've seen is the primary one that will host all of the tanks and the various support divers as their turns in the water are nearing. There's a second smaller boat that is used as a chase boat. A third private yacht being provided will serve as a...

Wow some pretty harsh replies. Let me set a few things straight. First of all I'm the voice behind the video and never really intended it to be used like this (or anything else really). Along with running a dive shop I also do voiceover and other radio production. I was playing around with a...

The basic difference in the diving on St. Croix and Tortola (and the rest of the BVI and even St. Thomas and St. John in the USVI), is the way the islands were all created. The BVI and rest of the USVI is volcanic in nature and thus has flat, continental shelf type of diving. St. Croix was...

Our weather in September is typically very very nice. Flat seas and maybe a bit warmer than usual. That is, of course, if there's not an "H" (we don't say the word) out there. I'm knocking on wood as I say that the forecast is for a pretty tame storm season this year. You'll generally save...

Last month another vessel slammed into one of our dive boats (31' Island Hopper) while it was on its mooring doing substantial damage to the bow rails. The damage was such that the entire railing forward of the cabin has been removed and must be replaced. We don't allow passengers to ride...

While it is possible to find choppy (my wife, our General Manager) won't let me use the "R" word conditions in February that's not always the case. As mentioned in another thread here, we can get pretty brisk northeast winds mainly in January. Locally they're called "Christmas Winds" because...

"If you're interested in a more expensive alternative with better diving look at Grand Cayman/Little Cayman or Turks & Caicos. Two of the pricier dive destinations especially in high season but both offer spectacular deep wall diving. ........." Well St. Croix is definitely much less expensive...

We are ready to hire an Instructor or two to join our award winning dive staff prior to the upcoming season. Requirements: PADI Instructor U.S. Citizen (or holder of work permit) Able and willing to be in a USCG mandated random drug screening program A great attitude PLUS'es Specialties Tec...

That would be an easy warranty replacement. Even if you were buying the spring outright it would be a buck and a half. We're a Scubapro dealer and I'll replace it for free for you. If course on the one hand you'd need to come to St. Croix to get it done but on the other hand we could also set...

Tom, welcome to the club! It's great to hear that you've been hooked and congrats congrats congrats on your decision to continue to get better and more proficient at diving. Living in Dallas gives you a LOT of easy to reach options for your diving from the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, and the...

There are quite a few people who have come to St. Croix to do exactly what you're planning......some even ended up working for us! There are a few sights that are easily diveable from the shore including the famous Frederiksted Pier which you will absolutely fall in love with, especially at...

The Palms at Pelican Cove on St. Croix is a pet friendly resort that would welcome you and your dog. While we (St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures) have never had a service dog accompany a diver on our boat we would be more than happy to give it a try. We've had several dogs on the boat...
