Southern Caribbean diving

I am booked on a Southern Caribbean cruise March 7th. We will be stopping
at Aruba, Curacao, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas. I will probably only be
able to dive at two of these islands since no one else in my group is a
diver. Can anyone make recommendations as to which two I should pick?
Thank you.
Jane

The wreck of the Antilla is well worth doing in Aruba. Trip report and
photos on my website.

Curacao and Aruba. The dives for cruise ships may not go to the Antilla?
Check, if they dive the pednaldes? i would pass. Curacao has some nice reefs

I dove the Antilla in Dec. 2002 from the Celebrity Cruise Line. Nice dive on a
German ship that was scuttled in WW 2.

Curacao and St. Thomas get my vote.

Curacao is probably the best of the lot. I have never been especially
impressed with St Thomas diving.

I would be very careful in selecting St Maarten dive shop. Be sure to ask
around before you go..

Too bad you're not going to Bonaire.
