just got back from st.Thomas/Tortola - MNLakeDiver - 01-23-2008
I just got back from a cruse where I was able to dive a day in St.Thomas and a day on the Rone in Tortola. both days were great weather and great dives.
in St.Thomas I dove with Blue Island Divers and we had 4 divers and 2 dive masters on our boat. the first dive was 45' on a reef they call the Supper Market because it is layed out like isles going back and forth like the isles in a store. there were many spinny lobsters and other critters to look at. the second dive was on a barge the army used to use to house troops there for training. two of them sunk in a huracain about 40' feet from eachother in 40' of water vis was about 75' and even scared up a ray in the sand between them.
The next day I did 2 dives on the rms rone. it lies in about 85' of water and there were 8 divers on our boat.we came accross a nice sea turtle and I will post pics. when I get a chance to upload them. I was with Sail Caribbean Divers in Tortola and they were a great shop with multipul sized boats. the largest being 12 divers.
I will post pictures when I get a chance but they are with a cheep camera and by a poor excuse for a photographer. :

I was just in the shop 2 weeks ago to set my sister and her hubby up with snorkeling set ups. I finaly got back into my shop email and see there was a party while I was gone. have to talk to Wags about the ice dives (or go back to virgin islands >
)
