Comments Quite facility with great food. Caribbean Sail Divers picked up at dock every morning and catered to dive requests. Set up all gear if desired. Good knowledge of sites. Getting there is an all day + affair. We flew into St. Thomas USVI, ferried to Tortola where we stayed overnight to catch the boat to Cooper Island which leaves "sometime in the morning" on M,W,F. We left the island at 7:30 AM the following Monday to catch a 9:45 (or thereabouts) ferry to St. Thomas, went through customs at the ferry landing then again at the airport for a 4PM flight out.(Can also fly into Beef Island, but that was one more connecting flight). Got into Boston at 10:30 PM. Long day!
The stay in between was heavenly. Neat accomodations. Solar battery powered most of the day. Generator for a few hours each night so can recharge batteries. Nothing to do but relax :)
