Sweet Bottom Dive Center is located on St. Croix's north shore, at Marriott's Carambola Beach…read moreResort. This is a well run operation, and a PADI 5 Star dive center. Their website says they specialize in small groups and personalized dive experiences from shore or by boat. And that their dive groups are kept small to keep the focus on diver safety and enjoyment. My two tank dive group could not have been smaller, as it was just me and the dive master. I've been here three times, and every time my group was four or less. All of my dives have been shore dives, which I often prefer unless doing a wreck dive. One of the great things about Sweet Bottom, is that their is a very nice reef, just off shore, perhaps 150 yards from the beach. So you can suit up, walk in and get diving fast! Since I'm an advanced diver, I can do deep dives (up to 130 feet), which many of the diver masters like, because they can look for larger fish like barracuda, sharks, etc. And on my first dive, at around 85 feet, we spotted three large reef sharks, which came pretty close, always an awesome site. On a prior visit, I did a dive with Sweet Bottom at the Frederiksted Pier, which is located at the end of the island in Frederiksted. It is considered one of the best micro-dive locations in the world. The pilings are covered in coral, and there is an abundance colorful fish, octopus, seahorses, squid, pufferfish and more. Divers can do a giant-stride off the pier, so it's very easy to dive. The tip of the pier is reportedly 90 feet deep. Sweet Bottom provided all my equipment, except for my mask. Their equipment was newer and in excellent shape. These days, divers would expect integrated BCD's (as opposed to a separate weight belt), and Sweet Bottom did not disappoint, their equipment was newer and in excellent shape. I look forward to future dives here!

Had a great time diving with Nep2une in early July. Did both guided day and night pier dives and a…read morecouple morning two-tank boat dives over 4 days. They offer a full concierge service with your gear so if you don't want to handle setting anything up or tearing it down they will handle it all to include transporting it the short (100 yards or so) walk to the dock on the pier. After the diving they have gear rinse stations to clean gear off. Their default appears to be cleaning your gear for you, but I was also welcome to handle my gear myself. If you are going to dive with them over multiple days they will even keep your gear hung up in their shop so you needn't tend to it yourself. But do remember to hang onto your mask and fins if you want to spend some time snorkeling on the beaches in between dives! Their boat is a six pack and has probably the easiest entry into the water. Simply take a seat at the back of the boat and slip on your mask and fins. Then they'll position your cylinder and BCD behind you such that all you need to do is put your arms through the shoulder straps. From there just lean forward and you are in the water. No giant stride or back rolling for those who don't care for either of those. Most importantly there's no walking across a pitching and rolling boat deck with a cylinder, weights and a BCD on your back. It's the easiest entry I've seen in almost 30 years. If (like my wife) you find getting geared up and into the water the most bothersome part of diving, Capt K and her crew will take that burden off your shoulders--literally. Diving the Frederiksted pier is a must do dive, provided there isn't a cruise ship docked at the time. If you want to see turtles they have a great number of them. If you have a good eye (or one of their sharp eyed guides) you might just spot a juvenile drum fish, not even an inch long, in the turtle grass. There's also spotted and moray eels and octopi waiting to be found. The pier dive runs 30-35 for much of it and makes for a nice easy dive to start the trip off with. There's a giant stride entry off the lower dock portion (don't worry, it's only a few feet to the water) and the exit will be on the other side where there are some stairs to bring you back up to the street. If you only have the opportunity to do one dive while on St Croix, make it the Frederiksted Pier. If you want to do a night dive, the pier is also an amazing dive for that seeing all the nocturnal creatures and their activities like eels out hunting. Don't have lights? No worries, Nep2une can provide those to you. If you are running a camera rig they also have clearly marked camera rinse tubs. For those unaware the defog in masks can destroy the seals on a camera so it's important not to rinse masks in the camera tubs. I look forward to diving with them again during my next trip into the island.
