Looking for uncrowded dive operator in St. Thomas

[tricoti]

Hey,

My friend and I will be staying on the east end of St. Thomas for 5 days and we are trying to dive the best spots in the area without going with a lot of cruise ship people, or I should say operators that cater to cruise ships and have large capacity boats (nothing against cruise ship people, just trying to avoid crowds). We have not been to the USVIs or BVIs but want to do whatever we can, as we are only there to dive. We would like to do the Rhone, but that's all I know. I'm not sure that the ferries get us to St. Johns early enough to make morning boats. Should we book with a St. Thomas operator that just doesn't go in St. Thomas? Because everything I've read just says to not dive St. Thomas and go east.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Contact Blue Island Divers. I've dived with them on two trips, the first time there were four of us, the second time, seven divers, but I was allowed to take my buddy and do our own thing.

Admiralty. Great people, great dives. We went out there was a family of four and the two of us. Reviewed here: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cr...-cruise-diving-tips-needed-2.html#post6447733
