| food, drink, and company were found at the Aqua-Lounge Club, The Buccaneer, Caf Madeleine; Kendrick's; and Top Hat. Dive operators who were particularly helpful include Anchor Dive Center, Dive St. Croix, and The Waves at Cane Bay, but all of the current operators on the island supported this project above and below the surface. |
| On St. John: The staff at Caneel Bay, Gallows Point, Hyatt Regency St. John, and Raintree Inn. Memorable meals were had at Le Chteau Bordeaux, Lucy's Bar & Restaurant, Ellington's, Etta's, The Fish Trap, The Lime Inn, and Pusser's. Dive operators who were eager to assist include Cruz Bay Watersports, Low Key Watersports, and Paradise Watersports, but all operators on St. John are perfect partners for a dive vacation. |
| On St. Thomas: Dick and Joyce Doumeng at Bolongo; the staff at Admiral's Inn, Bluebeard's Castle, Marriott's Frenchman's Reef, Grand Palazzo, Hotel 1829, Point Pleasant, Ramada Yacht Haven Hotel & Marina, Sapphire Beach, and Stouffer Grand Beach. I had delicious meals at Agave Terrace, Entre Nous, Eunice's Terrace, For the Birds, Hard Rock Caf, Hotel 1829, Victor's New Hideout, and many more. Dive operators that deserve a special mention include Billy Bad Watersports, Chris Sawyer, and Dive In. |
| This book would not have been possible without the support of Kim Andr at Hunter Publishing, who believes scuba diving should be a major part of any vacation experience in the Virgin Islands. |
| My favorite buddy above and below the surface is my wife, Cele. Through this project, we both developed an immense love for everything in the Virgin Islands. I hope this book leads to the same love by dive travelers who use it. |
| I tried to include everything a dive traveler would need to plan a succesful trip to the Virgin Islands. However, prices, schedules and staff change, and I recommend calling operators and hotels before booking a flight. Please send any information (including updates, corrections, and new operators, hotels or dining establishments) that you feel should be added to the next edition to: Lynn Seldon Jr., c/o Hunter Publishing, 300 Raritan Center Parkway, Edison NJ 08818. |
