Admiralty Dive Center right there at the Marriott is fine. I dove with
them a couple times last year and was quite satisfied.

You might also like Blue Island Divers, but Admiralty is very
convenient for where you're staying. French Harbor is nice, too.

Check the Web sites for both. If you dive with Admiralty, tell Marty hi
for me (as if he'd remember me...:)).

Hi,

In April I was on a cruise and dove with Underwater Safaris in Havensite
Mall at the cruise ship
terminal.  They were a good dive shop and they go out twice a day.  You
check in at Havensite (your
family can even do some shopping while you're diving), then walk a short
distant to the end of the
cruise ship dock where they have a permanent mooring for their dive boat.
They do an escorted reef
dive (though I hung back and did some underwater photography followed by one
of their dive masters)
then a dive on a broken up wreck.  The life was good and they let us cruise
around the wreck at our
leisure.  The island they dove at is only about 15-20 minutes out of the
dock so it minimized the amount
of travel time.  I even bought one of their t-shirts which I never do if I
don't like the place :O).
You can get their information at padi's website.  BTW, I'm not associated
with them, just liked the
boat and people.

We did 2-tank dives with Blue Island located at French Harbor last February.
We had a very nice experience with them.

Conditions in the USVI and BVI were not great during our visit due to some
untypical weather patterns, so I'm not sure if they'd take you to the same
locations we visited or not.

They took us to Spratt Point, which was a nice novice dive (perfect for my
wife who was recently certified).  It was relatively shallow with nice
little canyons between the coral, filled with turtles and lots of
interesting sea life.

They also took us to Navy Barges for some very nice, but easy, wreck diving.

We didn't make to St Johns, but we spent a week diving/sailing the BVIs and
they are spectacular.
