5.00David, Stephanie, Abbey & Josh were superbly organized, & prepared for a great day of diving. Their knowledge & attention to detail was superior. Their knowledge & acumen about the dive location, & history of the area in general was super. As a older diver because of Stephanie I was able recall some of my forgotten diving skill set learning.
Awesome

5.00Thank you to Captain Steph, Abby, Mr Bill, and Zack. They were a very fun crew and Abby was great as a one on one snorkel guide for Nan's first time. As an experienced diver I loved the visibility of the water. It was so much fun we booked another day to see even more with this crew.
Girl Power!

5.00Diving with Aqua Marine was a fantastic experience! We will definitely be repeat customers if/when we make it back to St. Thomas. Great communication, top notch equipment and fantastic staff. We completed eight dives with Aqua Marine while on the island in a variety of formats. Two early morning dives one day with a private dive guide (worth the money), a private full day boat charter with Pizza Pi lunch and a late (10:30am) morning two tank dive with private guide. Each day was unique and fun. As with any business, the people make the difference. All the staff were very professional, safe, knowledgeable and friendly. While Kyle, Zach and Tommy were top notch, the girls stole the show!! Steph and Erika were EXCELLENT!! We had the privilege to hang out with these two ladies on all three different days. Thank you for a great time diving in St. Thomas!
Beautiful and fun diving in St. Thomas

5.00We booked 3 dive trips with Aqua Marine Dive Center, 1 being a private charter for the day. They were very accommodating, friendly, and easy going. Erika and Steph were our dive guides and boat captain. They were very professional and impressive in their knowledge and skills with managing the boat, and making sure everyone was safe and happy. We really enjoyed the variety of marine life we saw at the different dive sites, including tons of beautiful corals and fans, shrimp, crab, lobster, turtles. stingray, sharks, beautiful fish, and impressive rock formations. On our full day trip they set up pizza to be delivered to the boat which was really cool. We would 100% book with Aquamarine again! The only small downside is they don’t have a great place to change into dry clothes after diving. Small price to pay for an awesome experience!
Amazing 🤩

5.00We had the most AMAZING day ever! Captain Dave and crew were beyond fantastic! The drinks were delicious! The experience for me was once in a lifetime. I had never gotten to see large sea turtles in the wild before, we saw SEVERAL large sea turtles, sting rays, and a few barracudas plus other sea life. This trip was worth EVERY penny plus more !!!!!
Couldn’t have asked for a better trip!

5.00Wow, just wow! What a great trip. We were met by the staff and fitted with our rental gear. Steph and Erika were out guides and helped get us and the kids into the proper masks and flippers. Tommy was the Captain and let us know all about the boat and safety equipment before leaving the dock. At the snorkel spots Steph and Erika joined us in the water pointing out unique fish. The highlight of the trip was seeing the turtles at Christmas Cove. Snacks and drinks were provided and of course the adults were treated with rum punch on the way back. We had so much fun we are booking a night snorkel trip! This boat trip was the highlight of our St Thomas vacation!
fun with friends
