Comments I booked our diving with Dive BVI based on my research and was not disappointed. Great crews, great service all week long. You carry your gear onboard the first day and take it with you the last day and don't have to touch it in the meantime. All dives are guided which was fine with us...there are various experience levels of divers on any given day. Caribbean diving for us comes with low expectations as we have been spoiled since first going to the Solomons/PNG etc. However, found these two tank morning trips to be very relaxing. Shout out to Lance, Laura, Marc and Rupert crewing our week...the new Irish lad, Brian, looks to have potential :)
