Cruise ship diving in Southern Carib

[tahitisweeti]

We are off to the Southern Carib in Feb and plan to dive in St Martin, Dominica, St. Lucia and possibly St. Barts. We have done a couple of cruises and had good and bad experiences when it came to diving as a "shore excursion". With Holland America I felt like we were just hurded on a bus then boat and taken to the most convenient dive site which was uneventful. With Radisson in Tahiti we had a great experience because the ship was equiped with it's own dive platform and zodiacs. Sorry, long story shortend....any recommendations on dive ops to use in the above mentioned islands, preferrably flexible ones that will work with the ship schedule we will have to adhere to? And since it will be only one day in each island what sites would be the highlight to hit?

Hi,
In Dominica I have dived with Dive Dominica and always found them good. For cruise ships they pick you up by boat at a dock near the cruise ship terminal. The dive sites are a 10 or 15 minute boat ride away.
