I highly recommend either Chris Chaffin or Tommy. Both work at Ocean Runners and I've used both several times and are great!

Tommy known as 'Turtle Tom' [ not for driving slow] is as knowledgeable as they come especially for snorkelers - a pleasant fellow as well.

Chris, Tommy and Cleve are fabulous. I've known all of them for years and they are all highly qualified. Jeremy, who has not been mentioned yet, is also very good.

Pete is gone right/

We have used Tony two summers in a row and would use him again the next time we rented from them. Great guy and is open to whatever you want to do.

These guys are my buds. My office is right next to their spot and I see them ALL the time. I honestly really love them all! If you tell me what kind of trip you want to have, maybe I can help you out better.
Peter is still the "owner", but he doesn't really captain. Chris, Tom, Tony are all still there as well. Cleve will still captain, but only when requested. I have always gone out with Cleve, but I do like them all. Matter of fact, I told them that they were going to take me out on a boat, all of them, and that would be my bachlorette party! They all seemed to think it was a good idea...so we will see what happens. :lol:

Thanks all for the help everyone :D
stjJulie- we would like to go to the BVI's, Did the snorkel/ Yost trip last year with Josh on "Lion in Da Sun" but we have 8 this year. Maybe the Caves and Willy T's? Some laid back bar hopping, we liked Foxy's, Foxy's Taboo and Ivan's more than Soggy Dollar. We're open to suggestions, that's where the Capt. is needed. Who know the spots off the beaten (advertised) path?

The girls in my group especially liked Tommy due to his special skill of being able to lick his own forehead! :-)

He is hilarious.
