Dive Operator Recommendations Needed

[redsoxphan]

My wife and I will be going on a southern caribbean cruise in February and out of all of our ports of call, there's only one in which a dive excursion is offered. So, it looks like I'll need to find my own dives. Having said that, I am looking for any recommendations for dive operators in Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, & St. Maarten. If anyone has been to these islands before and has any dive operator recommendations, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks!!

I have been to Barbados twice and dove with Barbados Blue, and highly recommend them again. It is turtle heaven there!

Been to St Lucia too, but dove with Sandals, so I don't know of any dive ops. My suggestion is to e-mail the ops and find out who will pck you up from the cruise ship and take you to the Pitons (Superman) and Keyhole Pinacles! These are the very best sites.

Dove last year with Barbados Diving: Eco Dive Barbados

Andrew was great. He runs a 6-pack operation out of a small shop on the waterfront. It is pretty much a one-man operation, and he is very competant and gives friendly, personal service. The mate we had on our trip was experienced and friendly, too. He loaded and unloaded our gear, and did the fresh water washdown (no rinse tank, they use a hose)

I would definitely use them again if I went back.

P.S. Andrew will pick up and drop off at the cruise ship docks.
