Comments	S.C.U.B.A's (St Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures) motto is "friendliest dive shop on planet Earth" and they live up to that. All staff, on the boat, in the shop and the office were very friendly and helpful. Even during a very rough day on the water, when most divers were seasick, staff was great, attentive, and concerned. Roll calls usually done before boat leaves the dock and after each dive. The conditions on the north shore at the time we were there were not great - high winds meant big swells, rough seas, and low vis. COnditions on the west side were much better. Even though the west side boat was already fully booked, the dive operation arranged a GREAT pier dive for us on the west side - sent a DM (who hauled all our gear) to meet and guide us there. That dive - under the cruise ship pier, was our favorite of the week. Unfortuantely we could not return and do another dive there because no diving there when cruise ship in port. There we saw the most fish and critters, including many seahorses. The diving on the north shore was so-so - pretty corals but not many fish. Saw a few turtles, sharks and stingrays. Dive shop very well equipped. They took our BCs, regs, and wetsuits everyday, rinsed them, and brought to and set up on the boat the next day.
