Dive Review of
World of Watersports/Hilton in
Trinidad and Tobago/Tobago

Virgin Islands, Bonaire, USA

Dive Conditions

Surface with 500 psi.  Stay with dive master.  On some dives depth
restrictions were stated at start of dive.  

No dip or rinse tanks on either of the boats used for diving.  Boat crew
was helpful with retrieving equipment and placed cameras in a secure
location for later retrieval.    

Overall Rating

The diving on the south end of the island was hampered by poor visibility. 
Diving in Speyside, which advertised bigger fish and better vis required a
one hour drive (which never left on time).  And the dives cost $25.00
extra.  Had I known that I would have used a dive shop in Speyside or
Charlottesville, rented a car and done more dives on the north end of the
island.

Neither dive boat used had adequate safety equipment.  There was no oxygen
or adequate first aid kits.  There was no rinse tanks or fresh water
available.  The first boat has a igloo for drinking water that had dirt and
sand in the water.  The second boat had no ladder and no easy or
comfortable way to re-board the boat.

The staff was friendly and DM Marvin was very patient, informative and
helpful.  But Marvin really needs a new wetsuit.

The Hilton hotel shows the lack of maintenance everywhere.  Rusting
fixtures, no working ice machines on our floor.  Elevators that are out of
order, etc.  But the staff was friendly and very helpful.  When we asked
about where a working ice machine was, they brought us ice without being
asked.
