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.

    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.

    Had an incredible day learning to dive. Dylan was an awesome teacher and made my first dive an easy. This is a MUST do while you're on the island. We went to 2 sights and saw tons of fish, rays, octopus... Definitely recommend.

  • AMAZING Scuba for first-timers with great staff and unforgettable sights!!!

    I could not recommend this experience enough for anyone who has been interested in seeing ocean life from a new point of view. Zach, Dylan, Kelly, and Captain Steph were absolutely incredible and they made us feel safe, taken care for, and were absolutely hysterical to share the journey with. It was our first time scuba diving and we felt so safe and informed, and it was unreal seeing all the ocean life from the sea floor. It felt like we were in an aquarium!!! We got so close to a sea turtle, saw some huge spiny lobsters, a couple of eel, a huge pufferfish, spiny crab, and an insane variety of fish and coral the entire way. We will never forget this experience and will be coming back for more when we come back to St. Thomas!!!

    Lewis, Tommy, and Mich at Aqua Marine Dive Center St. Thomas were fun, professional and knowledgeable. My daughter did her first open water discovery dive and Lewis was great with her. He was patient, encouraging and made it easy for her to understand. She had fun and more importantly wants to continue on and get certified. I would definitely recommend the team at Aqua Marine Dive Center St. Thomas if you’re looking for an experienced diving/snorkeling experience.

    This was our first time scuba diving. We did the discover diving with David. This staff is amazing 10/10. They offer snacks, drinks and play music while having the option to enjoy the beautiful views up on bow of the boat to be in the sun. Very helpful and patient with everyone. Highly recommend!!
