Hey Hammerhead!

If I remember correctly, you have your shop in St. Thomas. I'm going on a cruise next month and was wondering if you would do tours on a Friday-I think that's when I'm there. Also would you take some snorkelers? I am also going diving with Searuba Fly and Drive when I'm in Aruba. Has anyone heard anything about them? My other destinations are to Curacao and St. Martin. Any recommendations for shops at these places?

Thanks,
Amy

HI H-

Here is my info:

Sat. June 21st we dock at 7am. I am the only diver out of the group. There are 5 others but they would probably only snorkel. Would you be willing to take them if there is room? They would need all gear for that and I would only need tanks and weights. I am debating on whether taking a reg or just getting one down there. Less to pack. I see that you can pick us up at the dock as well. I am meeting with my people tomorrow and we're deciding what to do, so I would need prices and times of the trip. If we decide against the dive, I would still like to stop by and meet you. I would just need directions from the port.

Thanks,
Amy

since I only rub a 6-pack operation there would not be room for the snokelers. heres a something to consider, lets keep everyone together! I'll pick you up and we will do a great beach dive depths ranging from 35 to 51 feet. Your freinds if they wanted to could do an intro to scuba the ones that dont would have some awsome snorkeling. you and I  and the intros could catch a great dive out on the reef!! call me for pricing. I promise you wont be disappointed!!!!!!!

Hi H-
My group decided against snorkeling and diving in St. Thomas. We're going to St. John for a beach day. I'll be back in St. Thomas around 1 and would like to stop by and meet you.

Hammerhead-Sorry about missing out on those tattoos. They did sound inviting. I'm tired of Chicago and really not liking my job even more now that I'm back from the islands. Ok enough of that-yes i want to move to St. Thomas more than ever and was told to come down during tourist season.  Anyway, I need your help. We jumped on a ferryboat to St. John and the boat was called Island Girl. I googled it and got a yacht called that. Would you know what company the ferry belongs to? It picked us up from the cruise dock. I need to get their Rum Punch recipe! Just kidding. Thanks.
