There is no better way to truly see what ST. John's has to offer with regards to the beautiful sea life. Frank was AMAZING! My wife was recently injured in a car accident.... and Frank was so patient, so understanding and so willing to make sure the experience was second to none. The whole family.. including 3 teenage boys, enjoyed SNUBA. Tons of coral... tons of Fish... tons of fun! We especially love that Frank took time to teach us about conservation and local history. We definitely recommend Frank and SNUBA to anyone who is in the St. John area. Thank you Frank (and Tammy behind the scenes) for amazing family memories - Firefighter Family from Jersey

SNUBA sounded interesting, but we're didn't know if we'd enjoy it. Our instructor/guide - Frank - was exceptional. Friendly, informative, and patient. There were six of us with a wide range of experience from zero to somewhat familiar. He worked with each of us individually to understand our concerns, trepidations, and comfort. I was easy to see that he was extremely professional and sincerely interested in our enjoying this experience. We learned a lot. The dive was amazing. I think the biggest testament to our SNUBA excursion is the fact that all six of us are going to pursue an Open Water SCUBA certification so we can continue to enjoy underwater adventures. Great job, Frank!

This was a great excursion. Frank did a wonderful job making sure all members of our party were comfortable and prepared before we entered the water. His instructions were clear and once we were in the water he was very attentive to all of us. We were able to descend approximately 18-20 feet and stayed under the water for a total of 40-45 minutes. There was beautiful coral and fish to observe and it was fabulous to have the ability to be down so close to the bottom. I would highly recommend this excursion.

This experience was absolutely amazing starting with expert instructions all the way until the last picture. The dive lasted 45 minutes with pristine water, abundant fish and brilliant coral. I highly recommend this excursion and be prepared for Frank and Tammy to personalize your experience and exceed your expectations.

This was our first excursion of our trip and it was an incredible way to start. The experience itself is pretty spectacular as the reef and marine life were plentiful and beautiful, but the I really don't think we would have got as much out of it had it not been for Frank (guide & owner). Our whole group was new to snuba/scuba and Frank is methodical about his approach, by the time you get in the water and actually dive you are completely prepared and can just enjoy it. We were all a little nervous but Frank's years of expertise and step by step guidance put us at ease. If you are on the fence, don't skip this one, it is well worth it.

Our entire experience with VI Snuba was great. Frank brings a wealth of experience in Snuba and other similar activities that instantly put our minds at ease, considering it was our first time as well as our 9 and 11 year old's first time as well. From the beginning, Frank was full of very useful tips to help maximize the experience, which we all left feeling we had done. Frank knows the best spots, keeps a watchful eye on each person's comfort and experience, and is a very entertaining and welcoming instructor. For all 4 of us, it was a truly unique experience and we would highly recommend VI Snuba to anyone or any skill or experience level.

10/10 amazing experience. The instructor, Frank, was extremely positive at all times. He taught us so much in a short amount of time, and was extremely patient and understanding of everyone’s needs and weaknesses. He stayed positive the entire time, and that was one of the best parts of the experience. You won’t feel rushed or in the unknown of anything.
What you should expect: a brief on shore lesson on how to handle certain situations underwater, followed by going to the beach in shallow water and putting those lessons into practice. Afterwards, you’ll start your dive!
If you’re a small group of friends, or even a family (there was a 9 year old on our trip) you should definitely plan to do this. Frank was excellent as I said, and I would certainly go back. Thanks for the amazing experience and memories that will last a lifetime!

It was the first time snuba'ing for our two kids and we were a little worried. All those worries vanished when we saw Frank carefully preparing the group and making sure everything worked for everyone. Kids had a wonderful time! I (dad) went the next day and the way Frank took care of me during the actual trip was very nice. Never for a moment did I feel unsafe. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our suba experience but had a couple of things that just didn't sit well. We were to be there by 12:30 and ended up watching him clean all his equipment and get everything set up. He didn't know how many people were coming so had to have additional equipment brought. It took an hour for him to complete this before we ever got into the water. I think he wasn't very prepared. He was an excellent teacher and very experienced. We thought we would be tied up for 1.5 hours and instead we were there until the park was closing up. We didn't get to enjoy the beach for the rest of the afternoon. I would not do this again.

Frank is one of the kindest people on this planet. He is going to help you feel safe and we’ll equipped to enjoy your snuba time. New to swimming or snorkeling he’ll take the time to make you feel comfortable. Pretty experienced? He’ll let you go at your own pace. Frank’s 30+ years of experience are so valuable and you feel very safe in the water. I learned a lot of tips and tricks that apply to snorkeling and scuba diving. It was an absolute blast. If you’re on the fence, just do it. It’s worth it!
