About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- chriskW9045LP0 contributionsExcellent dive operationDive Master Jack and Captain Lenroy couldn't have been more accommodating or fun to dive with! My wife and I did a total of 8 dives and had a great time. We had never dived St.thomas before and we're pleasantly surprised by the quality of the reefs and the dive conditions. We had been "Bonaire snobs" but no more!Written September 12, 2024
- WandaGB0 contributionsGreat family dive experienceWe recently came back froma week in St Thomas. Our goal was to have our 13 year old daughter complete her certification and to get some time diving as a family. It was our first dive trip in years (other than a refresheroe day course last summer).We had an absolutely fantastic time. We loved the smaller groups and felt it allowed for more personal attention. The crew was certainly attentive to our comfort and safety. The first day we were in a boat with Jack and Nathaniel. Jack was quite patient with me when I was having some challenges and made sure to keep a close eye on me during the 2nd dive. We got to dive with our daughter (Colin was her dive master the next day) on her last 2 Open Water dives for certification and he was also quite attentive. The rest of the week, our family went on 2 more 2 tank dives, with Jack and Lenroy. Once again, both qere extremely personable, and were attentive to details. By the end it felt as if we were diving with friends. Our daughter wanted to mention that she thought Jack was very funny.. We would certainly dive wiht Aqua Action Dive Center again if we are back in St ThomasWritten August 9, 2024
- SteveF123450 contributionsFantastic way to see the Virgin IslandsWe took a half-day charter of the Patagon with Lenroy to do some snorkeling around the Virgin Islands. We had three separate stops to snorkel in some amazing locations, some of which were very isolated and fun to explore. Lenroy is a friendly and knowledgeable local who made us feel right at home. The snacks and drinks were a nice touch and made the experience that much more pleasant. I highly recommend the experience!Written July 26, 2024
- Atrani7180 contributionsBest Operators on IslandMy family and I had a full day charter with Aqua Action and everyone agreed it was the highlight of the trip. Captained by Lenroy and Jack, they were the best crew we've ever had. They were professional, personable and made sure everyone in my party (ages 12-80) had an amazing time. We got to dive, snorkel, fish and explore remote beaches in the USVI. On top of that, Captain Lenroy makes an amazing ceviche. Highly recommended.Written July 21, 2024

- Doc1410 contributionsAn experience, but not a good one.We booked a dive trip with Aqua Action months in advance. We were planning on diving 4 days. The day before we arrived they informed us that our first day of diving was canceled because their boat needed maintenance. Understandable, but I would've thought they would've tried to schedule it at a time when there wasn't people diving. However, they told us that we would still be able to do the rest of our dives. We were scheduled to do two, two tank dives Friday and Saturday, a two tank dive Sunday morning, a night dive Sunday evening, and a two tank dive Monday morning. We found another dive operator to accommodate us on Friday, but were still under the impression that they were going to be able to work with us for the other dives. The dive on Saturday morning was an experience, and not a good one. We were told to get there at 8 o'clock, but when the dive leader arrived he said that we did not need to be there until 8:30. We did not get underway until 9:45 AM. Instead of a dive boat we went out on a fishing boat. Which could be fine, except for the vessel was not at all accommodated for scuba diving. The tanks were left loose behind the captain, and as we were sitting on the back bench as the boat began moving the tanks were sliding off of each other and feet were at risk of being smashed by loose tanks. I thought to myself, maybe this is just a rough start, but it did not get much better. We got to the dive site and had to either back roll off the boat, or put our gear on in the water. Not a big deal, but inconvenient. The dive itself was fine. The dive leader leading the dive was also fine. The boat captain was a joke. When we came up to the surface after the dive he was fishing. Not very professional to be fishing with divers in the water. Not to mention he was supposed to be watching a snorkeler who is basically off on the side of a island without any supervision. I have no idea why they had snorkeler's come to the location because it was not a good location for snorkeling. As we were leaving the dive site to go to the next area the captain was still more concerned with fishing. We were trolling for fish for a while and watching him fish which was still unprofessional. When we finally left to go to the next site the tray that was attached to the side of the boat with a sharp knife was left loose and the knife came flying off the tray and hit my leg. We get to the new dive site and the dive goes fine, but the captain still continues to fish. I will also say that getting on the boat was a challenge as it was just a small collapsible ladder on the side of the motors. My father had a recent shoulder replacement, and was in need of another, which made it very difficult for him to get off the boat. When I got off the boat for the 2nd dive I handed my gear to the captain who set it beside him, but was not super interested in assisting us back on the boat. He was more concerned with fishing. As we were traveling back to shore, I realized I was missing some of my gear that was attached to my BCD. We looked all over the boat and could not find it. It wasn't until we pulled into the harbor that we realize that the captain left my gear on the outside the boat next to the motors as we were traveling through rough seas. It is a miracle that my gear was not lost. We finally got off the boat at 1:30 PM, which we had initially anticipated being done by 12 PM. As I was putting my gear in my car I must've accidentally left my GoPro case beside the car, because when I got back to our room I realized that it was missing. I went back to the location that we were parked and it was gone. I tried to check with the dive center, but they were closed to go to a wing festival. I checked with hotel and dive center once they were open, but no one said they found my camera. They can't be responsible for someone stealing my camera, but it was a little bit of insult to injury. We had one more night dive that was a shore dive, which was better suited for snorkeling. We never went below 12 feet, and it was just rather unorganized. They canceled every single one of the dives that we were supposed to do besides the Saturday morning dive in the night dive. Luckily we were able to find another dive center in Red Hook that was able to salvage our trip. Based upon my experience I will never consider using Aqua Action Dive center again. They cannot be relied upon, and the experience was altogether unprofessional. I would highly suggest going elsewhere.Written June 12, 2024
- kellih5200 contributionsFantastic Experience!!Went diving several times with Aqua Action these past few days! Savannah at the desk was SUPER helpful and friendly. My favorite dives were the boat dives around the island. I HIGHLY recommend Jack as your guide and Lenroy as your captain! Both guys know so much about the islands, the marine life, fishing, catching lobster, and exciting dive spots. These guys will truly show your group a great time! Also, the pineapple was delicious! 🤩 With Jack and Lenroy, you won’t be disappointed!Written June 11, 2024
- rschlitter0 contributionsGreat time...great people!Had a great time diving and snorkeling with Aqua Action! I highly recommend. EVERYONE was so nice, helpful, happy, knowledgeable of the area and just a pleasure to dive and snorkel with. Even let my son drive the boat a little...which he will probably never forget! They went out of their way to help even as we forgot some things on the boat. Only drawback; you must walk a short distance in the water to get in the boat which is not a big deal...just make sure you have a dry bag. We will be back...!! Thanks for all your help Elena... ;)Written April 1, 2024
- michaeln3430 contributionsGreat ExperienceDiving with Aqua Action Scuba was a great experience. The boat was located right at the resort for easy access. The boat captains and crew were terrific and super helpful with any questions and problems. All of the dives were very safe and relaxing. Most of the dives were under 50 feet making for long bottom times, the longest was almost an hour. We visited wrecks as well as reefs. If you are looking to do hardcore deep diving this is not the boat. If they don’t have at least 3 divers they don’t go out. My objective was to do 6 dives which I did. We really enjoyed diving with them.Written March 11, 2024
- SteveStef0 contributionsKnowledgeable of the best sitesI dive annually with Aqua Action. My wife only snorkels. They have trips that accompany both of us. Great prices and a fun time. They've been doing this awhile and have the logistics streamlined. Attentive to your needs. Great people.Written February 7, 2024
- ColorBars0 contributionsSnorkeling Rookie LessonWanted to get a snorkeling lesson before trying it on mine own. Also, didn’t want to drown on my first snorkel. This is the house shop for Secret Harbor Beach Resort. They arranged for someone to actually come to the resort for my lesson. Joey B. had been here 12 years and is from Jersey. He knew his stuff. Had a great afternoon snorkeling off the beach. Felt more than confident I could handle myself for the rest of the trip. Joey B. is a blast. Quite a character. You’ll enjoy your time with him if he’s your instructor.Written January 30, 2024

- shalakos20230 contributionsGreat Discovery SCUBA DivesWhile staying a Secret Harbour Resort, I scheduled the Discovery SCUBA dive for my 14-yr old daughter who had never done SCUBA. I am a PADI advanced diver and wanted to share SCUBA with her. She had a great shore Discovery instruction dive with Mandi. After the shore dive, I scheduled a 2-tank boat dive for both of us the next day. We were accompanied by dive instructor Anardo. He was awesome! He held my daughter's hand underwater for the first 10 minutes to make sure she was comfortable while guiding her around to see amazing sea life. He treated her like a loving father. He picked up a brittle starfish and let her hold it. He showed her how the sea anemone would suck up into their shell when you put your finger in front of them. He guided her up to within 4-ft of a nurse shark sleeping on the sea floor and could have gotten closer if my daughter hadn't gotten nervous. Lol. She did not realize nurse sharks are gentle creatures. We also saw a sea turtle and perhaps the largest sting ray I've ever seen with a companion Cobia that followed it everywhere. The dives with Anardo and Aqua Action were by far my daughter's favorite activities that we did during our week on St. Thomas and St. John!Written August 20, 2023
- Coldave850 contributionsBest snorkel tripMy family of 7 had an awesome time with captain Sam and first mate Alex. They made us feel so relaxed. Alex was an awesome snorkel guide, she brought showed starfish, sea turtles and taught my children al kinds of things about the reef. Breakfast and snacks were great too. Will book with them again when we come back.Written July 19, 2023

I called the day before, I don't think they had seen our reservation through Trip Advisor but said we could still go out to snorkel. They did NOT provide transportation to or from your location so we had to take a taxi which is expensive. We need up going out with a scuba diving group. So my daughter snorkeled by herself in deeper water then normal for snorkeling. She liked it, said she saw some pretty fish, but the water was rough. I'm guessing they would have taken us somewhere else if it had been just snorkelers. I stayed in the boat as planned. It was beautiful scenery .

We were a family of four snorkeling and there were two other people who were diving. we were able to just snorkel by ourselves without being rushed by a guide. the water was clear. we saw turtles and plenty of fish. the captain and the dive instructor were super nice. the place is a little bit of a taxi ride so allow time. we were able to use the beach at the resort the dive center is located at. my daughters hair after snorkeling was so snarled and the dive instructor was so nice and gave her some conditioner after we got back to the beach.

We had a great 1/2 day snorkel charter during a cruise stop at St. Thomas. We arrived at the dive shop at Secret Harbour and owners Sam and Diane were ready with homemade snacks - including muffins, hummus and brownies. They also had a well-stocked cooler. Sam gave us lots of information about the islands and beaches we visited and Jessie was a first-class snorkel guide and was great with our kids.
We visited 4 different beaches during our 1/2 day trip. The islands and the water were beautiful. We saw nearly a dozen sea turtles, lots of sting rays, and too many fish to count.
I can't recommend these folks highly enough. We had a great trip!!
