Comments	This was my third trip using Admiralty Divers so obviously I like them. They go way beyond to provide equipment and help for new divers especially to find a warm wet suit for my daughter who gets cold even in warm water. On Monday I went out with two other divers and they made a point of going to some more advanced sites because they knew we would be going to easier sites for the rest of the week since my daughter and son in law would be going with us. This was her first open water dive after becoming certified and his introduction to scuba. He got certified, beginning to end starting in the pool at their office on Monday, training dives on Tuesday and Wednesday and diving on Thursday. He did the class work on-line through their web site, www.admiraltydive.com, before the trip. T. On Tuesday and Wednesday the instructor went with my son in law, a dive master went with my daughter, myself and one other diver and the Captain stayed on board the boat. Three staff members for four customers! They did a good job of finding places to drop for training that were close to places that were interesting for certified divers and about increasing the sites depth and variety as the new divers became more comfortable. On previous trips they were very good about finding dive sites that were interesting for all the divers and they remember where people have been and try to go to new locations for everyone. They are also very accommodating about picking divers up from the Marriott dock at Frenchman's reef. St. Thomas may not be the absolute best diving in the Caribbean but these guys provide the best and the most friendly diving on St. Thomas.
