On another forum, I read that it was partially for the purpose of bringing cruise ship visitors to Little Bay. I certainly hope this is not correct.

Could be Aqua Mania for their excursions. I know that Dive Adventures out of Aqua Mania has to shuttle by a small boat the divers they pick up and bring back to and from the main boat to the Divi branch. Maybe someone there will get an answer.

Most know that Divi has cruise ship folks brought to their beach now. But, if new pier is to accommodate customers directly from cruise ships via transport boats, I am sure that Divi mgmt. would love it but folks staying at Divi, as well as Belair, next door, would not appreciate an additional couple hundred people on their beaches.

Tom we were told Divi no longer participates in the "round-robin" (each day of the week was a different beach) of cruises offering excursions to a beach because of owner complaints. But nothing stops ANYONE from using ANY beach and we've seen groups of cruisers who probably took a van on their own.

Hope this hasn't changed and that dock is for the Aqua Mania group.

I can only speak for what we saw in 1st half of January during our stay @ Belair when we walked Divi beach. Divi had many chairs and umbrellas on the beach that were separate from those provided for their guests. We could only assume that they were meant for cruise ship folks.
