Comments	This was our first trip to St. Thomas. Blue Island Divers is a smaller operation with personalized service. There were never more than 10 divers on a boat and for most of the trips, there were only 5 or 6. We saw many other dive operations' boats with what looked like 20 or more divers on them. Blue Island picked us up at the dock at the Marriott at Frenchman's Bay and were extremely accomodating, as well as respectful and mindful of the various levels of experience in the boat. The wreck sites were the most interesting and there are plenty of them in St. Thomas. I would highly recommend this dive operation and locale, especially if folks are looking for an easy trip and no-hassle "American" experience.
