Hey, I just returned from St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Kitts and Puerto Rico and I got a chance to dive them all. I'm going through the pics right now, all 1800 between my above and below water cameras.....I know I know I have some serious issues. I'll try to find a few to post.

You've got some mad photo skills so I am looking forward to seeing them. I will be doing a few dives in Mexico this week so going through this thread again has got me all excited.

Your far too kind Greg, unfortunately these pics were more of a challenge.

I was just about to post the St. Thomas pics this morning before I went out for the day but something happend.....gone...

Anyway it was a cruise out of San Juan Puerto Rico and after that stayed in PR for another 4 days. The visibility this time of year is not great, it was mostly overcast and a bit silty reducing vis to around 50' at some locations. Since it was a cruise you don't get the best dive sites at a paticular location but I made the best of it.

Here are the St. Thomas pics and I just got the call from work and I have to leave in the morning for a few days so the rest will come later. The first dive site was a reef the second was some old US Army barges that the troops were housed in and were sunk in the bay after they were not needed.

Well I'm back from a week away working and after two hours of going through more pics here are the Dominica dive pics. I'll go through more tomorrow.

On the second dive we went to a place they call Champagne, it is a volcanic vent on the sea floor that releases hot water and some gases making bubbles.


























The tang is about 4" to give you a idea of the scale.
