Comments	This was our first trip to the Virgin Islands and so we were especially sensitive to the post hurricane(s) recovery efforts throughout the islands. There was still significant evidence of damage but overall the islands and the people were awesome. Compared to other hurricane damaged areas we have visited, the USVI has moved forward and recovered considerably. Red Hook Dive Center was excellent. Owners, Don and Susan were great. Their shop is spotless and well stocked, their customer management and communications are awesome. Captain Don runs a very smooth, comfortable and safety conscious operation. We dove for 3 days; 2 dives each day. They rinsed and stored our gear each day and were very helpful during each trip. Their Divemaster’s did a great job both onboard and in-water. We enjoyed ourselves so much we considered diving another day with them. We highly recommend them!
