My Best/ Worst Dive places in Caribbean

[Kmludwig76]

Have been to Vieques and although it's a beautiful and relatively non-commercialized island, I thought the marine life was barely decent. Was not impressed and would not recommend when compared to other stops that I've been to (Maui, Grand Cayman, Cocos Island).

thanks for the compilation. Very informative and much appreciated. One comment though. Could it be your perception is tainted by the time of year of you went? For example, you mentioned several times it was "too cold" when you went in February. Perhaps it wouldn't be "too cold" in, say, Oct/Nov? We just got back from St. Lucia in mid-Nov. Water temps in the low 80's/upper 70's. Loved it. But it does get colder in Feb than in Nov.

I have worked in the Caribbean for 10 years and traveled around quite a bit. I agree with most of your opinions. Both Bahamas and The BVI have some good diving, (and some poor overdived sights.) Feel free to contact me for more information on bentdiver@live.com Although I am no longer in the industry I do not wish to cause public offense to any operators or friends, but am happy to give honest opinions. Good and bad.

I must go to a different Jamaica. Diving isn't great but I find the people to be extremely friendly.

Nicely put together. Would you be able to edit to add the years when you were at the various islands? Some of your likes and dislikes may have changed over time.

Bill's experience is his experience. appreciate his listing but where he stayed and when he went are major factors in that experience.
Have been to many of the places listed and two specific ones had a much better time at, Bequia and Tobago. Both of which I would gladly go back to. Only Jamaica i wouldn't go back to of the islands I have been to. Bonaire is my favorite diving destination and I have been going there atleast once a year for past 10 years. Vigin Gorda,Curacao,Cozumel and Puerto Rico are other islands I have been to. Even Jamaica if the price was right I would entertain going back to but it would have to be a really good offer.
Ofcourse my experience is my experience and yours could or will differ

Chauncy19 - what is your point? I ask the OP a question. Been to Bonaire and to Coz - would not go back again (same with Roatan and St. Lucia) - you like them, I don't. Again, what does your comment have to do with my question to the OP?.

I am curious about when he went.

I don't think Chauncy was replying to your post. I agree with you though that the year the OP went to those places would be useful.

I guess his post addressed to "Bill" threw me off.

DayBob it may be another Jamaica, I have never talked to anyone that would go back to Jamaica?
