5.00I had a great trip out with Aqua Marine. A fluke of luck led me to be the only customer on the boat! David the captain took great care of me! We dove the calf and the cow. Dillon was an exceptional dive master! Pointing out some absolute monster lobsters and crabs! Abby spotted an octopus and a moray eel. I highly recommend this crew! I would jump at the chance to go out with them again!
Awesome Private Dive and Snorkel Experience

5.00As a solo traveler I was looking for an operation that would take care of me, and Aqua Marine certainly did. I booked a private experience and had the most amazing day with master divers Abby and Stephanie. We had two amazing dives and I was in great hands. We even had a snorkel session as they knew I really wanted to see a turtle! We saw two! Had the best time with them and was so happy for a female captain and crew for my dive!
What a magnificent dive experience! From the private car transportation to the services from Dylan, Tommy, Zack & Lewis

5.00We had an amazing trip with Steph and Dylan! We went out last year with Steph and had to book again! So much fun! Dylan was so patient with my daughter and was an incredible guide! We saw nurse sharks, reef sharks, turtles (and a baby!), an octopus, barracuda and an eagle ray! It was awesome trip that far exceeded our expectations and Steph and Dylan were so great! We will definitely be back next year!! ❤️❤️❤️
Top notch Customer Service!

5.00Our crew members were Abby, Ben, Dylan, Earl, and Capt Dave. They were all phenomenal! The boat was not over crowded. 1/2 of my family scuba dive and the other half of us snorkeled. They made the combination so easy! Snacks and drinks were provided. Customer service, TOP NOTCH from prompt responses via email about the booking, all the way to calling a cab for us to get back to port. You cannot go wrong booking with this team!
Awesome Dives

5.00My husband and I did 2 days with Lewis and their crew. They took us to some beautiful places. We saw turtles, octopus, large crabs and lobsters. They say there was a shark when we first went down on the second day but we did not see it. Darn it. All in all I would highly recommend Aqua Marine Dive Center.
Excellent all around

5.00Ben was our our personal guide as we are advanced certified and buoyancy certified. He helped watch my buoyancy and was the very first instructor who monitored my exact weight distribution. Abbey, Stephanie, Dylan were all extremely helpful, made great conversation, and recommendations. Would not not dive with any other dive center in St Thomas. He also helped my husband adjust weighs after first dive. They know what they are doing...and really, really great st attention to detail.
Top flight experience!

5.00Dave the Captain was awesome. We did 3 dives with him: 2 tank morning dive with Zack on 12/21. Night dive with Louis on 12/21 and a 2 tank morning dive with Dylan on 12/22. Very friendly and professional Dive Masters. I highly recommend Aqua Marine divers and these these dive teams. Thank you! I’ll be back over from STX to dive with these guys again. John Boulanger.
