Cruising Eastern Caribbean

[swinging pink]

Hey, I could use some help.
I am cruising in 1 month 1 day and 6 hours from now and need help finding some good places to dive.
I am part of a group of 8 divers, 2 youth open water divers, 5 open water divers and 1 AWESOME Dive Master.
Here are the Iland we are hitting so if you have any thoughts we would LOVE them thanks.
Samana, Dominican Republic, Tortola, B.V.I, Philipsburgh, St. Maarten, St. Johns, Antigua, Bridgetown, Barbados, and Basseterre, St. Kitts.

Should be a great time. Thanks to anyone with info..

See if you have enough time to do the Rhone from Tortola. It's one of the best wreck dives in the Caribbean. Too deep for the youth divers though - 75+ at the bow section and 70' at the stern.

Depending on the operator selected and your time in port either the Dogs or Ginger Island might be an option. Rather than describe the dives, read about them here: Dive Sites | Dive BVI

We really enjoyed Chimney and Seal Dog Rock. There were turtles in the canyon walls and several sharks took off as we approached. At Seal Dog the more advanced divers can do the outside which is deeper and rougher and the Jr. divers can stay near the pinnacle on the inside, there's often a huge school of baitfish you can swim thru. I was in it when a Barracuda joined me for lunch - shiny scales everywhere...

The Jr. divers might be able to dive the airplane at Coral Gardens, it's pretty shallow.

Many of the dives off Ginger Island were pretty shallow also, one I liked was Ginger Steps. There's three levels to it so something for everyone. None of the dives near the islands in the BVI's are particularly deep - in a week most of our dives were <60'.

I've moved your post to the Cruise forum for a better response.
