We're getting a bit of cabin fever during the pandemic but with the vaccines, it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel. Therefore, we are starting to plan for our next excursion.
We are looking at St. Barts mainly because of the topside accommodation and activities. However, any time that we are close to water, diving is always on my mind. I've done some research on St. Barts dive conditions and most of what I find is old and the diving doesn't sound too impressive. (maybe similar to Tortola)
I always look at diving conditions through the filter of my previous experience. I'm an instructor and have been diving for many years. I've worked at a dive shop on the Great Lakes and have extensive cold water wreck diving experience and frankly am bored with wrecks. I love warm water diving and like colorful coral and the little critters. I've also worked in the Cayman Islands and Tortola and have diving experience in many other Caribbean islands, the South Pacific, Australia and the Indian Ocean. My intention is not to brag. What I'm saying is - it takes a lot to impress me.
Therefore, I'd appreciate any feedback on St. Barts dive conditions. Is it worth packing my dive gear?
