Clint,

I have also cruise ship dived there, Coral Garden and Carib Trench were the
sites. Marine life was very scarce to say the least. The reason for me
wanting to dive there was to get another island in my log book.

On the other hand, I didn't find Dunn's River to be that exciting. While
shopping in town can be interesting (drug dealers), it's not all that great.
IMHO, diving isn't that bad of a choice given the other options.

I resemble that remark!


My post (last month) in rec.scuba.locations summarized it as follows:
