What To Expect

Check-in at Aqua Marine Dive CENTER (at Saga Haven Marina) 30 MIN before the start of your excursion for gear fitting and completion of needed paperwork. Before leaving the dock, the Captain gives a safety briefing after which you can relax while you're instructor shows you skills and explains diver safety and basics for the 15 to 30 minute ride to the first dive site. Once there, you will get in the water with one of our highly qualified instructors to practice some learned skills and get comfortable breathing through the regulator. Then it's dive time with your instructor by your side! You'll see tropical fish, coral reef, and probably even turtles and rays. After dive #1, enjoy snacks and ask your instructor any questions on your way to site #2 where you can snorkel or, upon agreement between you and your instructor, upgrade your scuba experience, to do a second dive.

    I had my first ever scuba diving experience in St. Thomas with Aqua Marine Dive Center, and it was truly unforgettable. As a beginner, I was a little nervous going in, but Louis, the main instructor, was incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and calm throughout the entire experience. At one point, I started to feel overwhelmed underwater, but he helped me regain control, calmly guided me through it, and even got me comfortable enough to continue the dive which meant a lot to me. Jess was also fantastic and kept a close eye on me the whole time, making sure I felt safe and supported. You could tell the team genuinely cares about their divers. Captain Dave rounded out the experience perfectly he was very friendly and made the whole trip feel relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I’m so glad I did it. I would absolutely go again and highly recommend Aqua Marine Dive Center to anyone, especially first time divers.

  • Diving again after 30+ years!

    AMAZING experience for us beginners! The crew Dylan, Zach and Steph were outstanding. It really went above our expectations. Dylan, who should be an elementary school teacher too ;) , was phenomenal. He made the most memorable scuba day for us. We saw a sunken ship and stingray, lobster, turtles, eel and a baby drum fish along with other fish and coral. The rum punch at the end of the trip was a fun addition. Thank you to Dylan and crew!

  • Great trip!

    We had a wonderful time. Family of 4. Two of us snorkeled and 2 did diving. Our guides Ben, Lewis and Dylan were so great. Captain Dave was the best. We saw squid, fish, lobster and turtles. It was a small group which made it an incredible day. Highly recommend this tour.
