Hello Boardies!
I will be on a NCL cruise with some friends in Feb and we will be stopping in Tortola. I have heard that the diving is not to be missed and I have a friend with me that is also certified. I HATE diving with the cruise ship because it is almost always packed. So I look to my board friends for suggestions.
1. Anyone know of any reputable dive operators in Tortola that have worked with cruise ship passengers before? I become somewhat paranoid of missing the ship at times.
2. Any suggestions of possible dive sites that I should request? I have heard good things about the RMS Rhone.
3. Any thoughts from people who have been there before? I don't dive as often as I like but try to get wet 5-6 times per year. So far Saba and Curacao are at the top of my list. Has anyone been to 2 out of the 3 or all 3 and can give me a comparison?
4. Last but not least, we will also be stopping in St Thomas and Dominica. Because we are a group, my friend and I only set aside one port to spend underwater so we can spend the other two ports with our friends. Should I scratch Tortola and possibly look at doing one of the other two ports?
Thanks so much,
EA
