Hi,

Planning a dive trip with my wife (novice diver) and 8-year-old daughter (a
fish, but too young to certify as a diver). We are looking for lodging in the
USVI. We would like a pool and a pleasant environment. We also need a dive
operation for scuba and snorkeling and we want to do some fishing our last
couple days, so we need a fishing charter. Any recommendations for who to see
& who to avoid?

Thanks!
Ron

Blue Island Divers is my favorite shop on the island. I have dived
with them frequently and continue to go back for more.

I like Clayton for the charters. Their number is 315 686 5542. Ken is
a good guy and a very experienced diver who knows all the wrecks in the
area and gives good predive briefings. Some of the wrecks he goes
to--esp. the Keystorm, which starts at 15' or so and goes to 120'--are
suitable for novice and expert divers alike. He runs a 6-pack (i.e., a
maximum of 6 passengers), so even when it's full it's not a cattle car.

Can't help with the hotel, I'm afraid. Where I've stayed (the Otter
Creek Inn) is OK and I'll stay there again, I'm sure, but all I do there
is sleep. No pool, no restaurant, etc. However, Ken will pick you up
at the dock there, which is really nice...
