The chocolates from Hershey were great too. (Note to others, you don't have to bring us chocolate to have a great week of diving.........but we won't turn them down!)

I have been fortunate, over the years, to have picked good operators on my diving vacations, but without question St Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures is at the top of the list. The crew is professional ranging from the shop staff to the divemasters, and Scott who was our captain for most of the week. The divemasters for the week were Simeon, John & Dan, and I am a better diver from the experience gained diving with them. Special thanks to Dan who helped hone my photography skills, and by the end of the week I had some good pics. The highlight of the week were four 7ft reef sharks and two free swimming green moray eels in the 6 - 7 ft range.

We dove 3-4 times with SCUBA during the week of July 4, 2011. Would it be possible to get copies of our (on-boat) photos? Thanks!

You are smart to book your diving independently of the ship as you’ll save money and have much better diving. As you know we have two custom dive boats available for you. Both are fully U.S. Coast Guard inspected vessels. Our west end dive boat Scuba Dos departs for directly off of the cruise ship pier at 9:30am and 1:00pm for two tank dives along the west end wrecks and reefs. Our north shore dive boat Reliance departs the Christiansted Boardwalk (about 30 minutes from the Pier) every morning at 8:30am and every afternoon at 1:30pm for two-tank dive trips along the walls and reefs. For divers coming from the ship we can delay the morning departure time by up to 30 minutes if needed. Shuttles to Christiansted from the ship typically run around $16. If you choose the west end dive boat we would have plenty of time to help you Dad Discover Scuba Diving with us. We would him for about an hour and a half in the swimming pool at Sand Castle on the Beach Hotel and he would be able to join you on an afternoon two-tank dive. The afternoon boat returns in plenty of time to be back aboard the ship as it now departs and arrives back to the cruise ship pier. If you wanted to do a LOT of diving during your day on St. Croix you could actually be on the morning trip while he's in the pool and join him for two dives on the afternoon trip as well. (You don't get that many vacation days a year you might as well make the most of it……) If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to let me know. We want to do whatever we can to help you plan a wonderful day of diving for you ad your Dad on St. Croix. When you're ready to secure your space with us just give us a toll free phone call (877-567-1367) with your credit card number and we'll get everything set up for you. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon, here in paradise. Rachelle,
