St Thomas vs St Martin

Which place would be better for a 1/2 day catamaran/snorkel tour..???

We dove in both ports. St Thomas had better diving. I know it's not the same, but if we had to pick again we would do St Thomas.

First choice: Capt. Alan in St Martin. Went to 2 deserted marine reserves plus a beach. Saw octopi, turtles, lots of fish.

For snorkeling, St Thomas has lots of options but DO NOT go to Buck Island/Turtle Cove. Been 5 times (last by accident, see more under my post for Jewel of Sea in RCCL thread): always a choppy ride over and very murky conditions, tons of snorkelers on top of each other, and you will be forced to do a guided snorkel.

Not Coki. Sapphire can be v. crowded but good snorkeling along rocks. Water Island is overrun now. Try Smiths Bay/Lindquist beach, even Secret. Diving at Christmas Cove is supposed to be good, along with snorkeling there.

For snorkeling a catamaran out of St. Thomas to snorkel in St. John.

We always go to St. John while in st thomas
