Hi Patty,

I haven't taken the sunset catamaran cruise to Water Island, but it sure sounds like fun. I would pack some bug spray, better yet I like the "Bug and Sun" combo. I don't have a problem with the bugs, but the no-seeums at the beach love to feast on my husband. They do have the Safari's on STJ, but if you'd already rented a car I would take it, STJ is a great island to explore, so much to see. It's about $40-$50 round trip. One word of caution, the car ferry doesn't stay open as late as the passenger ferry. I also wouldn't wait until the last minute to catch the ferry dock just to be certian that you have a spot on the last ferry back or you could end up spending the night or taking the passenger ferry back and return in the morning to get your car.

Have a great time,

Molly

During our trip in May we had a lot of fun scuba diving from shore at Hull Bay. There is a scuba operator there called Homers Dive Shop. It is right on the beach and there is a real nice and easy dive that runs 20-45 ft from the base of the boat ramp along the eastern shore of Hull Bay. As for the BVI's, we used New Horizons II and had a great time with them. Highly recommended from others on this forum as well. Have a great time in STT(tu)

blaze, out of hull bay, will the take newbies for scuba diving? I've never done it, but would love to, before I get to old :o)

Connie: Homer is one of the foremost scuba instructors on St Thomas. He worked for the top scuba op for many years before branching out on his own. I am sure he does a discover scuba course. He was my instructor for open water and advanced open water and I know I never thought I would be able to dive. Highly recommend him. (tu) (tu)

He also does a night snorkel tour. If you have never been in the sea at night, it is also recommended.
