5.00The crew were awesome! Zach, Kyle, and Ben were all courteous and fun. Great trip. The boat was comfy and views were amazing. Only complaint… they needed Gatorade.

5.00Kyle, Erika, and Dave could not be more friendly or helpful. Great afternoon snorkeling! I did the discovery dive last year and I will go back again.

5.00Ketchup and the entire crew were absolutely fantastic. My family has dived all over the world, and this experience ranks among our all-time favorites. If you're visiting by cruise, skip the crowded excursions and choose a more personal, smaller-group dive like this one—you won’t be disappointed. The attention to detail, professionalism, and fun atmosphere made it truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!

5.00The snorkeling was amazing and Captain Blessing did an amazing job. Our snorkeling guide Erika was amazing and did an awesome job of answering questions about all the sea life that we observed. And Sam booked us the trip and was amazing with all the arrangements.
Fabulous time with Captain Tommy, Abby and Kyle.

5.007 stars out of 5. We had a fabulous time. 6 adults with 7 kids under 12yo. Captain Tommy, Abby and Kyle were wonderful and so great with the kids. We had pizza delivered to the boat from a pizza making boat. Truly a fabulous experience. Snorkeling along we saw all the fish, turtles, sting rays, a jumping sting ray, and coral. Definitely recommend it!
Highly recommend!

5.00Wow, what a great day! We saw turtles, Eagle Rays, an octopus, barracuda, starfish and so much more. Steph and Ann Cate were the best guides and extremely helpful on our first snorkel trip. Very professional, clean boat, high end equipment! If you’re thinking about this type of adventure you really should pick this company …. Highly recommend!

5.00Great staff. We did the Cow dive and it was amazing. Even though I’m certified I get nervous every start and Jaime did a great job at relaxing me and ensuring I didn’t miss out on the experience.
Great Experience On Aqua Marine Dive Shop

5.00We had a family group of 19 on the snorkel boat on July 18, 2024 with Tommy as our Captain. The crew of 3 were absolutely perfect for our group. All of us had an amazing time snorkeling and having rum punch. Would definitely use Aqua Marine Dive Shop again! Fantastic!!! Dale and family
A MUST!

5.00This was simply incredible! If you want a private boat with just your group you need to book this! Our guides Tommy, Erika and Jamie were awesome. They joked around with us but still made sure we were safe. We saw amazing sea creatures like sea turtles, squid, so many colorful fish, sting rays, a manta ray and even an eel! Our guides made sure we did not touch any of the wild life or disrupt them but we were able to swim close to them which, as I’ve stated already, was incredible. They also gave us time to hang out on the boat at the end and swim for fun. If you are ever in St. Thomas this is a must! Great views, amazing water, quality time with just your group and the best guides!
