Hi,
In mid-August, we'll be stopping by the King's Wharf area with Norwegian Cruise Lines. Our goal is to try to get in two days of diving, though we have to be back to boat by 3:00 PM on our second/last day. So we'd prefer something closer to the King's Wharf area.
We've read the threads on what seems to be a few of the shops. We're thinking not Dive Bermuda as we don't want to have to be dealing with a crowded hotel and swimming out to boat with our gear. We're used to diving our own gear and would prefer the usual easy way of rolling the bag on and being done with it.
This seems to leave:
* Blue Water Divers
* Triangle Diving
BWD seems to be in Somerset Bridge area not far from Wharf. Triangle seems fairly far away. Maybe not far in miles as it's a tiny place, but I have no idea if going 10 miles takes an hour and costs $50 here.
It's also possible to go with the cruise ship's dive program. I've never been on a cruise, but as a diver, my past experience is the cruise ship folks are often low-skilled and annoying. (Though this time, I'll be one of them! :shocked2: ) The cost is about $160 via the ship for 2 tank dive, but, but if you add in cab rides both ways, that's probably about the same as going direct with a shop. (And it's likely NCL just contracts with one of the local shops anyway and we'd end up in the same place. We just don't know.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Scott
