Looking for an island with both golf and diving
 
Which island offers both golf and diving?For dive sites, I am looking for a great reef that isn't too deep as I am a novice diver. Reasonable rates and ease of access from the US would also be pluses. Thanks!

Try Aruba or Turks & Caicos. Both relatively untouched by recent Hurricanes and both have good golf courses.

St. Croix is another one to look at.

Beatiful new course at The Marriott in St Kitts and The 4 Seasons on Nevis. There are 4 dive shops in St Kitts.

St. Croix has three golf courses - 18 hole at Carambola, 18 hole at Buccanneer, and 9 hole public course on the east end of the island. I've only played the public course. It was a fun course (more challenging than it first appeared). My husband is a good golfer and enjoyed Buccanneer's course as well. The diving on STX is varied and better than good. I love the Salt River Canyon walls. We like to stay at Chenay Bay and dive with SCUBA in Christiansted. Chenay Bay is close to 2 of the three golf courses. If golf is your passion, you would probably want to stay at Carambola (it looks like the best of the courses) and dive out of Cane Bay area. In addition to golf and diving, there are some great restaurants.
