- Princess Cays (private island in Bahamas - off of Eleuthera Reef - owned by Princess Cruises) - NOTE: dive operator (Ocean Fox) was horrible - $159 for a 1-tank, 35’ dive. PLUS they wanted to rent their wetsuit for $10 extra and said it was mandatory (though it wasn’t). Dive was a so-so reef with minimal marine life. Don’t waste your time.
- St. Thomas, USVI. 1st dive was to Wye Reef. Operator was AWESOME (Underwater Safaris). They were a blast to dive with. Reef is okay. Saw one turtle and a few fish. Max depth was 58’.
- St. Thomas, USVI. 2nd dive was to Cartenza Senora wreck. Pretty cool wreck of a freighter that was broken into three main sections. Lots of marine life and coral around and in the wreck.
- Grand Turk. 1st dive was called "Tunnels" - and was a great wall dive (went 85’ max) with lots of fish. Dive operator is "Oasis Divers" and they were very good.
- Grand Turk. 2nd dive was "Coral Gardens." Awesome 65’ dive with tons of marine life... saw groupers, trumpet fish, dog fish, and lots of rays.
I ended up taking all my gear except for wetsuit. After 1st dive, I left my BC on the ship and just used the one provided by operators (less weight in the mesh bag going back and forth to dive boats).
