Ksimpson76 Posted July 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I am cruising next Feb. 2016 and all the islands look great to dive, but if I had to choose 4 or 5, which ones are can't miss spots? Puerto Rico (staying a few days prior to trip) St. Croix St. Maarten Dominica Grenada Bonaire (this one for sure) Aruba Curacao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie S. Posted July 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'll do a reverse comment. Skip Aruba and St. Maarten for diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaSSF Posted July 3, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I would certainly choose Bonaire & Curaçao. Aruba did not impress me. St crowd, and Dominica would be my next two choices. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omeinv Posted July 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2015 For Dominica I highly recommend ALDIVE. Samantha and Billy will take great care of you well, and make diving from the cruise easy. They'll pick you up at (and return you to) the port, and show you a great time. http://www.aldive.com Harris Denver, CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diver2014 Posted July 6, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Aruba has fabulous diving! The wreck of the Antilla is just a 5 minute boat ride. The south coast is awesome advanced diving....from about 30 feet down to 105 along a slope....great drift dive. The Arashi reef is full of life (saw several frog fish on one dive!) and Pedernalis is amazing for critters such as green morays and turtles. Debbie II had 2 seahorses. I've been to Aruba 3 times, once on a cruise ship and the other 2 times, we stayed for a week and did 3 dives a day with Red Sail Sports. Absolutely wonderful diving! Dominica is my other choise.....Castle Comfort Lodge and Dive Dominica are wonderful. Champagne is everyone's favorite but head south to Scott's Head for some out of this world diving. Sea horses, spotted morays, crinoids, amazing diving! I've never had a 'bad' dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunula Posted July 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Here is my ranking: 1. Bonaire (we've been 3x now, and are returning again in December) 2. Aruba 3. Curacao 4. Grenada 5. St. Croix / St. Maarten (tie) Can't speak to Puerto Rico or Dominica, we've never been diving there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
