Cruise, 9 ports, best diving???

[BritYank94]

Hello All!!

New to diving, OW last October in Aruba. 6 logged dives so far. We are taking a cruise in October. Will be stopping at the following islands: St Croix, St Kitts, Dominica, St Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Curacao and Aruba.

I know we won't be able to dive at each island so I was wondering which ones are the best. Curacao is a must but not sure about the others.

Any suggestions on the other islands would be greatly appreciated. We are looking at diving 4 of the other islands.

Thank to all.

p.s. if you have suggestions of dive companies that would be great as well.

Cheers!

I did a similar itinerary in January, but a little shorter.

I highly recommend Cane Bay in St. Croix and Dive Dominica in Dominica. They were the best operations and the best dives.

Wasn't overly thrilled with St. Kitts on that trip or St. Lucia on a previous trip.

Barbados has some great diving, but I haven't dived there in a while.

I cannot comment on the others.

Here is my trip report - http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/lesser-antilles/319849-cruise-trip-report-january-2010-a.html

I just finished a 2 week hard-core dive vacation in Curacao. Some of the best diving I've ever done. Fantastic! I highly recommend The Dive Bus for the east side of the island and Ocean Encounter West for the west side of the island (in Westpunt).
