St. Thomas suggestions wanted...

My family will be staying at Secret Harbor condos in late April and I'll be doing 3 morning 2 tank dives with the onsite shop Aqua Action. Truthfully it's "her" vacation so I had very little input and was surprised that she even picked a place with a onsite operator. I've found nothing but great reviews for Aqua Action and their website list the following as regular dive sites: Buck Island Wall, Calf Rock, Carvel Rock, Congo Bay, & Cow Rock.

For those familiar what are some other sites I should request if given the opportunity? Even if AA doesn't go there I may still have time to do an afternoon dive with someone else or on the one non diving day I have.

I did do a search but most of the post about this dive op were pretty old.

Those are all standard sites and I'm sure you will enjoy them. I prefer some of the sites over off St Johns, but I don't think any of the STT shops venture that far. Cow and Calf are usually good and I once had a really good close encounter with a Spotted Eagle Ray feeding at Buck Island. Never dove with Aqua Action -- usually get tanks from (and have dived with) Red Hook. Have a great trip!

IDK AA either but the shop we dove with (closed now) suggested Carval Rock but it was too sporty when we got near it so we headed to Congo Cay (not Bay) instead.

I think you do Cow/Calf on the same dive or at least the same trip.

Grass Cay was a disappointment. It was sold as a drift which it was but we didn't really see much of interest. Pretty shallow so we drifted for a long time. Frankly after an hour I was ready to get back on the boat.
