brijack Posted January 22, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2006 We are trying to do some diving in GC from the Valor on 2/6. Suggestions? The shore excursion appears to be sold out and we HAVE to dive here! I just dont want to miss the boat, or be late getting back to the ship. Help!!

bruce-r Posted January 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2006 First choice for me would be a return trip with http://www.neptunesdivers.com If Casey can't accommodate you, ask her for a recommendation. If your arrival is too late in the morning for a morning boat dive, my next choice would be a shore dive at the turtle farm dive site serviced by http://www.divetech.com That site is a better dive than the much closer Eden Rock dive site. Third choice would be http://www.sunsethouse.com in Georgetown a couple of blocks past the Eden Rock dive site Finally, the popular, but possibly busy, Eden Rock dive site with 2 near by dive shops, http://www.edenrockdive.com/ and http://abanksdivers.com.ky/ This site is within easy walking distance from there the tenders normally dock in Georgetown. I would consider you fortunate that the ship's excursion is sold out and you are "forced" to make your own arrangements. You will probably have a better time not diving with a large boat of other cruise divers. Hope this helps, Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijack Posted January 22, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted January 22, 2006 THank you so much for the advice. Have you had trouble making it back to the ship on time doing a 2 tank dive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w&k Posted January 22, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Brijack - I second Bruce's tip on Neptune's. There was no problem getting back to the ship, but I would grab a taxi instead of waiting for the bus to fill up as it would have been about the same price. Have a great trip!

bruce-r Posted January 23, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2006 THank you so much for the advice. Have you had trouble making it back to the ship on time doing a 2 tank dive?I had no trouble making it back to the ship after a 2 tank dive that left Public Beach on 7 mile beach around 9:30 AM. Casey offered a ride back to the tender dock, but since I was diving with someone who lives part time on the island and had a car, I politely declined. I probably would have time for a shore dive at Eden Rock if I wanted, but we had a couple of beers instead, I did some t-shirt shopping, then went back to the ship. If your 2 tank trip is in the afternoon, or your ship leaves early in the afternoon, then that is when I'd have second thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijack Posted January 23, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Thanks for all the advice folks. We booked a 2 tank this morning with Neptune. They were great to work with, both over email and on the phone. Very polite, friendly, and professional. I cant thank you all enough for the advice. Im really looking forward to GC now and can finally relax about getting our diving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
