dive shop/scuba tours
jsbell
6 hours ago
We will be down in March with my two sons and their families. Older son has his Scuba cert and is interested in doing some diving. Any recommendations? We all did a discover Scuba trip years ago with Octopus in Grand Case, but I really haven't thought about it since then. Also, he is trying to talk his brother and I into taking classes here and doing the checkout dives in St Maarten. Any recommendations for that?

Strange light over Cooper
Swifty
7 hours ago
I want to start this thread by acknowledging that this is going to sound crazy! Last night, we were moored at Cooper and saw a strange, glowing light moving very fast over the anchorage. This was just after sunset, around 6:30. The light was sort of a semi-circle, and looked like it was encased in a cloud, but there were no clouds around. It did not look like a plane and it didn’t have any other lights. It was also silent.
Later that evening, I ran into another sailor at the bar who saw the same thing, but neither of us had any idea what it was. Did anyone see this last night? Or has anyone experienced anything like this in the past? Sadly, we didn’t get a photo because it happened very quickly.

Oil Nut Bay - Marina Village

We went to the main resort at Oil Nut Bay back in 2018 after one of the hurricanes. It was a blast. We are coming back to the BVIs in June 2025. Has anyone overnighted at the marina at Oil Nut Bay? Worth while?

Looking at a North Swell the next couple of days...how is Diamond Cay in north swell? I assume Great Harbor or Little Harbor is good as well?
What other anchorages would be good?

It’s time to go home today, and I just had to have one last chocolate croissant before returning to a healthier diet at home. Our friends were already seated at a small table on the bakery's patio, and we joined them, recapping this wonderful and fun trip. We had so many laughs together and created some great memories.
There’s not much more to talk about. We packed, enjoyed one last soak in the pool and received hugs from Chantal, our gracious hostess for the last 11 nights. We left some dog treats for the sweet resident dog, Arkas.
Traffic was heavy and it took almost an hour to get from Grand Case to Simpson Bay. We returned the rental car to Empress, then spent the next few hours at the airport. There were many people working on the setup for the “Reopening” of the airport. As I’ve stated in another thread, the airport is really nice.
Our incoming American plane did not get a jetway, so we walked in the pouring rain to the dreaded shuttle bus. What a fitting way to end a somewhat rainy trip.
On a more positive note, American upgraded the two of us to first class for the second leg of the flight home. That flight was delayed a bit, and we arrived home at 2:03 am.
I hope you enjoyed my reports and pictures. I don’t spend a lot of time writing the reports or editing the pictures, but I just want to give back to this wonderfully informative forum.
Thanks for all the kind comments.
