Looking for a cheap cruise with the potential of snorkeling and scuba diving. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions that would meet these requirements?

You can go to cheapcaribbean.com and they have a link to an auction site that you can get cheap cruises for. travelocity has cheap last minute stuff and if you look on the net you can find deals.

As for as Blackbeards go; don't use them unless all you want to do is scuba. It's a small ship meant to get you from dive spot A to dive spot B. There's no luxuries involved whatsoever. This is fine if ALL you are wanting to do is dive, but not so great if you're wanting nice comforts as well. I use to teach on the liveaboard "Nekton Pilot" which was 3 stories,private bathrooms, Jacuzzi, tv,you name it. We would be moored at a dive spot and see those guys come up with their guests all cramped up and having to wash their hair with the return water from the air conditioning unit. Not dissing on them, it's just that they are for the serious divers,and not for someone who is wanting a cruise with the possibility of diving.

As you might guess, the Nekton Pilot is top of the line and is a no sea sick boat, but they ain't cheap.
