Just finished my SSI Open Water Certification. Everyone from Ana & Wolfgang to Abby, Audrey & Floyd made this a most memorable experience. Would highly recommend this outfit for any snorkeling or diving trips.

Went for a snorkel trip on Wednesday Dec 14th with Captain Steve and dive extraordinaire Jack Had a really nice time. There were only 6 passengers on the boat so made the experience very personalized. Went to 2 snorkel sites. I would highly recommend the boat and crew

Great experience with the WVSU Basketball Team, everyone had a great experience even the ones that were iffy about getting in. The instructors made it such a great experience for everyone to snorkel and experience the ocean life. Stephanie was a great leader on answering all the questions we had about wild life and also help me out when I was getting a little sea sick. She even dived down the the bottom of the sea to get a great video shot of a sea turtle eating I couldn’t uploaded it but I did take some pictures

We had a great scuba trip. My wife and I hadn’t done any scuba diving for about 11 years. We did a refresher course in a pool before this trip, but my wife was pretty nervous to get back in the open ocean after such a long time. The crew was GREAT and Dave, our dive master, did an amazing job of taking the time to make sure she felt safe and comfortable to get back into the water. Thanks to the crew and especially Dave for giving us a great experience. We will only dive with AQUA MARINE the next time we’re in St. Thomas!

We booked Aqua Marine Dive Center based on reviews, as well as, proximity to where we were staying on St. Thomas. We purchased the 6 dive package, but also wanted to do a night dive. I sent the shop an email to ask about night diving since it would be our first night dive. I got a call from a very friendly female from the dive shop the next day to assist with booking and reassurance for night dive.
When we arrived to the boat, we were met with a relaxed, professional and non-intimidating atmosphere (we are novice divers). We were chatting with Jaime prior to getting on the boat. He discussed Nitrox certification with us, so we ended up getting Nitrox certified since we have more diving planned this year.
On the boat, it was a fun group from the dive shop (Tommy, David, Jaime, Steph), as well as, the other divers. We did 2 morning dives the first day. They next day we did 2 afternoon dives, had a little break and then a night dive. Jaime was our guide during the morning and afternoon dives. With his experience, he was able to give us some invaluable pointers to improve our diving (and get us Nitrox certified). Thank you, Jaime!
David was our guide for the night dive. He was also with us on the boat and was in the water with us for another dive, so he was aware of our level of diving. There were 3 of us who had never done a night dive, so we were all a little apprehensive. David did a great job giving us a thorough description of what to expect, as well as, guiding us through the water. We had a great experience doing our first night dive! I cannot wait to do it again!!! Thank you David for a great first night dive experience.
I would definitely recommend Aqua Marine Diving. A very good experience from booking to final dive!

I enjoyed the experience of snorkeling with the Aqua Marine group so much I went out twice with them. The guide, Steph, was so knowledgeable and watched over us carefully in case we got in trouble. She stayed with us to answer questions and to show us unique sights. They took us to excellent snorkel locations. All in all it was a fun & exciting outing and I would recommend it to all.

Thank you Aqua Marine for another excellent diving experience. Divemasters Jared, Quentin, and Nen are excellent. Captain Steve handled the boat with ease in choppy seas. Looking forward to returning soon.

I completed my PADI certification at Aqua Action.
My instructor Abby was great. Abby is very competent and a great teacher. My highest recommendation.
The rest of the crew on the dive boat was great too. They are very helpful, safety conscious and infused a lot of fun into the experience

Aqua Marine has certified several kids, grandkids and friends over the years. Last week they certified a friend from Norway.
It’s week is a reunion. Four grandkids, all instructed and certified by Ana, are enjoying diving.
I have been out with numerous dive operations in my 57/years of diving. Aqua Marine is hands down the best and most fun.

I would like to give my nephew (Mitchell Peck) and his new wife (Anna) scuba lessons for their wedding. They will be at the Frenchman's Reef Resort starting Sunday, May 22, 2016, on their honeymoon for a week. Both are very athletic and good swimmers. Both are 22 yrs old and quite excited at the prospect of learning to dive. I know they need to dive two days before flying back, so my question is two fold: 1) Do you have availability for two beginners somewhere between May 24 and May 27? 2) Do you advise their breaking up the lessons into two days, one day to orient them with masks, breathing etc. and another day for a shore dive, or will you be able to do both in the same day?
If you would please reserve for them the appropriate available times and give me the cost tomorrow for both to get them through an adventurous one tank shore dive I would appreciate it very much. Their wedding shower is Saturday and I would love to give them the proper amount to cover the cost. Thank you!!

I am looking to go diving between July 18th and 23rd in St. Thomas. Interested in myself, wife and son diving 2 dives one morning whereby my wife who has not dove in a while but taken a recent refresher can dive a couple of easy dives, with my son and I staying for 2 additional afternoon dives. My son and I would then be interested in another day of 2 morning and 2 afternoon dives as well as a night dive either that same day or another evening. The three of us have mask, fins, snorkel but would need BC, Regulator, Gauges/Computer rental. We are checking area dive shops for rates and or a package for this. Dates for us could be flexible so if specific days are related to what you can offer please advise. Summary:
Wife = 2 morning dives
Son & Father = 2x2 morning dives, 2x2 afternoon dives, 1 night dive (9 dives each)
We are staying at the Marriott Frenchman's COve and interested also in recommendations for transport to and from your location.
Thank you.
