Comments	The island amenities were excellent with the exception of larger groups. We traveled with a group of 12 and most restaurants offered little to no help in separating the check. Quite rude in a couple of restaurants. The diving was great. The coral was in good shape and there was even progress in getting Staghorn coral to develop. The dive operator and hotel services were exceptional and I highly recommend both. I would return to St Croix and use the same facilities. I wish we had known the correct wall dive from a diver magazine I had researched. The site was called Vertigo and I would have liked to have made that dive. However, the wall dive we made was also good, North Star. The Fredericksted Pier is a must do dive both daylight and a night dive. We saw many smaller Octopi, Frog fish, Bat fish, and turtles. An amazing shallow dive. Diving was as long as you wanted with only a 500 psi or better when returning to the boat. So most of our dive were at least 60 minutes or better. We were able to add dives since our package only included 2 dives per day. Cane Bay Dive Shop was very accommodating and helpful and even arranged for lunch on our 3 dive days. The shore diving was at Cane Bay and was an exceptional shore dive. As mentioned, I would return to St. Croix.
