We are curious on how it went too. We are going in December on the Jewel of the Seas and plan on diving in ST Thomas, St Marteen, and St Lucia..

Kim, I thought I would throw our two cents in this conversation. We looked into the lessons on the ship for my wife and decided to do it on the outside. I would check with dive shops in your area because you can get good deals on classes. There is generally the initial investment of fins snorkel, fins, mask, and booties. This is good because you are going to want gear you are comfortable using. I finally got my wife diving in June and now she is hooked she has already certified as Open water and Advanced Open water and we are taking the Rescue diver course. The investment is around $1500 for the initial class and gear BC regulator etc. We bring our own gear every cruise so when they offer the Diving without equipment it is a cheaper rate. I know I probably threw a lot at you but gives you options
