Ok, so let's take a step back. We were supposed to be on the Oasis of the Seas for Spring Break and St Thomas was on the list of ports we were stop at. I knew that was the place we wanted to scuba dive at. So I contacted several places that were suggested to me on the cruise forum. One of them was to dive  with Aqua Action at Secret Harbour. Now Secret Harbour is a place I have considered going for a beach day in the past, but we just never made it there yet. 

​

I contacted Aqua Action about doing a discover dive. They had openings and I inquired about the dive site if diving from the beach and not a boat dive. (Kendra has a tendency to freak out a little and "says" she gets sick on the boat despite they have owned several boats and we used to spend every weekend at the beach) So I decided it would have to be a beach dive to satisfy her. I was told that the beach dive was a shallow reef and around 20' depth and it's a 45 minute dive. She stated there was a sandy bottom with rays and hermit crabs and also some rocks with coral and a bunch of juvenile fish. She informed me they were a sanctuary there at the harbour and said the fish breed well there. 

​

So......... I knew that it wasn't going to be a spectacular dive but it would be good enough that Kendra would enjoy herself and as long as there was something to see, I would be fine too. I was excited either way. 

​

We MapsMe our way there and could not find parking. This place is at a resort and there's no parking unless you are staying there. She had said something about there are 4 parking spots and it was first come first serve but for some reason there was a truck in one of them and they had cones blocking the other 3 spots. So, we were told if those 4 spots were taken we would need to go up the hill for parking and walk back down. 

​

Well, remember our adventure the other day? Well here comes another big hill and I knew there would be no way for me to drive up there and be able to walk down it. There was just no way. 

​

Billy volunteered to be the one to drive up and him and B would walk down. We all got out of the van and grabbed our things and up he went with the soccer dad van. The tires were squealing again as he went up the hill. I laughed...but only because it was not me this time. They said the walk was really long and the level that you can see from down below wasn't even the level you had to park at...it was higher. 

​

We started following a sidewalk and we were pretty lost. We did see a sign pointing left so we went left. We didn't see anything that looked like a dive shop so we found a nice area right beside the water and under a tree. The hubby walked to the other side of the beach and found the dive shop. Both Kendra and I swore the sign said to go left. 

​

Let me tell you what, this place was beautiful! I really really liked it here. The water was so crystal clear I couldn't believe it. The water reminded me of the time we went to  Goffs Caye in Belize. I had never seen the water any clearer than that water...until now.
