We dove with BID for two days. Tailored the sites to our requests. Very accomadating. Liked the crew, afraid to say names as some allready have big heads. Good boat, good crew, great sites. Can not say anything but good, we have more than 150 dives on St. Thomas and we love these guys. More

I was recommended to Blue Island Divers from another dive shop on the island so I could dive on a particular day. I made the arrangements via the internet and DJ was always prompt in responding to me. DJ even went as far to accommodate me and move the morning dive time (after checking with all who were scheduled) to... More

From the time I contacted D.J. to the time we picked up our dive equipment and sadly left the dive shop, our experience with Blue Island Divers was first class. There is a reason why we only dive with Blue Island Divers when we visit St. Thomas (actually, many!). The valet service, the great dive briefings, the super friendly crew,... More

My wife, daughter, son-in-law and I booked Blue Island Divers based on a friends referral, glad we listened. They are an excellent dive operator and very safety oriented. Booking was extremely easy and accomplished on-line. We visited St. Thomas on a Carnival cruise and as usual never book through the cruise line for our dives, avoiding the big cattle car... More

I went diving a few weeks ago with a different dive shop and was dismayed at how many people they packed onto their vessel. Having 20+ divers all trying to see the same wreck/reef really took the intimacy out of the trip and certainly scared all the wildlife away. I picked Blue Island this time for my next trip and...

I was in St Thomas for a week and dove with BID three times. Each day they were well prepared for the trip with my nitrox tank ready for me to analyze upon arrival. The crew is very friendly and treat you as a guest. I have experienced many different dive operators in many different countries and BID rates at... More

My husband and I went to St.Thomas, USVI to get married in August of this year. And I got scuba certified right before the trip. We found Blue Island divers and we were VERY pleased with their service. We also got lucky because we were only people on the boat and, therefore, recieved all attention, help and support.We did 3...

Was on Royal Caribbean cruise and booked through Blue Island. The cruise would not tell me which dive shop they used and I won't dive with a shop unless I can do some research. I booked directly with Blue Island and was gald I did. Blue Island picked us up (next to were the ship's vendor was located), had less... More

My son and I wanted to scuba dive as part of our Royal Caribbean cruise adventure. We booked our trip to leave from San Juan, with the first port of call being St. Thomas. The cruise offered two different scuba excursions though we had heard that they can often be "cattle boats"; a lot of divers herded on and off... More

My son and husband are already PADI certified, so they were already to dive. My daughter needed to be certified on this trip, so we hunted around for the best Dive shop in STT. We found Blue Island Divers and stopped looking! DJ was awesome, he helped us get all of our PADI stuff done ahead of coming down. Helped... More
