After all my disappointment with the dive shops I have used in the Caribbean, I finally found two great operations. The first, Caribbean Dive College in St Maarten and the second, Blue Island Divers in St Thomas. Both were very professionally run. The staff at both were great. The dive masters did their job without being over protective and there was latitude given to divers based on their experience levels. I am working on a cruise ship so I am back at these ports every 20 days. I will be a return customer to both shops. Keep up the good work
