bcurran2003 Posted April 7, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2004 leaving on the serenade on april 17 to st thomas, st martin, st lucia, antiqua and barbados. my son and i are in the pool stage of our padi training (as a result of previous discover diving excursions)and i was wondering if anyone had recommendations for dive centers at the above ports that offer discover scuba so we can "get wet". probably will dive at two ports. tks in advance 2001 voyager, 2003 adventurer, 2004 granduer until we sail the serenade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rst Posted April 7, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Why don't you arrange your open water dives at the first stop? It's called a referral-- you arrange through your dive instructor. Though I'm not that experienced, I don't think anyplace will take you without certification----unless you are part of the intro to scuba, and you probably don't need that anymore.

sportsterjohn Posted April 7, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2004 If you finish your pool training, get a referral letter and you can do your check out dives on the cruise. I did dives 1+2 in Roatan and then dives 3+4 in Cancun 2 days later. NCL Sea 3/03 RCCL Sovereign 10/03 NCL Dream 3/7/2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucejr Posted April 7, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Good discover scuba program at http://www.cokidive.com/ on St. Thomas. I wouldn't dive St. Maarten again unless the ocean was dead flat calm, and even then I wouldn't expect much, so I'd skip that port for discover scuba. Haven't dived at any of the other islands on your list, so I won't offer a second hand opinion. Good luck <font color="FF6600"> if there's a way to construe my post as non-argumentative, please do so.</font> Cruise photos on my Home page <font color="990066"> Spring Break was on the Grand Princess </font>21, March 2004 So when is the next cruise?
