St Maarten or St Thomas

[jar546]

Going on a cruise in the beginning of October. Looking at the options offered by the cruise line but wondering which of the two would be a better option for diving. Limited experience so don't want to get too crazy. Will also be stopping at Nassau for the 3rd time and but we will not be there long enough to do any diving.

Any input is appreciated.

Without any doubt-dive St.Thomas. Much better diving and options for all levels

St Thomas is very good - we had some great dives.....

Hope this helps.....M

Thanks. That was my suspicion but I did not really know.

I'd take St Thomas over St Martin as well.

In St Thomas I'd suggest giving Admiralty a call; they will pick you up from the dock - much better than the cattle boats the cruise ships usually hire.

For the diving, St Thomas. For a meet and greet of the island and islanders, Sint Maarten.

Second that. Admiralty has a great operation.
