Cruise Ship Diving in St. Thomas, St. John, Puerto Rico

[DiverDoug]

I'm going to be on a Holland America cruise next month, and will be visiting the following islands: St. Thomas [8 am-5 pm], Puerto Rico [7am-4 pm], St. Martin [8 am-5 pm], and Nassau [10 am-5 pm on X-mas day]. Unfortunately, Holland America offers next to no dive excursions, so I must book them separately, or not at all.

I'm looking for good dive operations for all three locations. Alternatively to St. Thomas, would I be better advised to take the ferry to St. John and dive from there?

As to St. Martin, I tried Ocean Explorers and they were already booked for the day I will be there, so I am looking for another cruise passenger friendly dive operator. Ocean Explorers has [sort of] recommended Scuba Fun -- anyone know anything about them?

As to Nassau, I will be there on Christmas Day. Stuart's Cove cannot accommodate the schedule and Bahama Divers is closed that day. Anyone know of another dive operation I might contact in Nassau?

Both Admiralty Dive Center or Blue Island Divers - Cruise Ship Divers will pick you up at Havensight/WICO. Blue Island is walking distance from Crown Bay Marina.

Answered in your other post.

Thanks for the info. Any ideas on St. Martin or San Juan?

Scuba Fun or Octopus Divers in St Martin. Can't speak for PR.
