I'm considering a couple of weeks in the USVI between the end of November - early December.
Any recommendations for the choice of Saint Croix, Saint John, or Saint Thomas, for areas to serve as a base, and for specific dive shops?
I'd like to do 2 ~ 4 dives/day, and possibly get my Rescue and/or Solo or Self-Reliant certification. I'd prefer a shop that has nitrox, small boats (6-pack) and 'dive your own tank' rather than 45 minute timed dives. My non-diving spouse needs a place to work
and wants easy access to a beach -- preferably a place where we could both snorkel.
I'd prefer somewhere that doesn't involve a lot of driving (more than 15 minutes?) between lodging and diving.
As a point of reference, we love Cozumel, so a similar setting (diving & choice of food within walking/easy taxi distance from lodging , some cultural/historic sites) would be strongly preferred over bars/clubs & AI hotels.
