Looking for recommendations. The family is trying to decide on which cruise to go on. Planning on diving wherever we end up going. Which would be the better choice? Bermudawe will be docked here for 3 days. Or A cruise that will go to Nassau, St Maarten, St thomas? Does one of these places stand out as a better diving destination? I am a beginner diver, husband and 17 yo kids are intermediate. Thanks for any input you may have.

All are very different diving, if it’s a winter cruise Bermuda is going to be cool and rainy. Bermuda would be the best for wrecks and history, Nassau offers a little of everything if you go with the right dive op. St. Maarten and St. Thomas would be for small stuff.

Do some research on dive ops at each, the cruise lines scuba trips will be the most expensive and cater to beginners and you will probably share the boat with snorelers so they will be shallow and battered reefs.
