Aqua Marine Dive Center is a dive operator based in St. Thomas, VI, offering guided dives, certification courses, and private charters across the U.S. Virgin Islands. The center runs beginner experiences and full professional-level training, including Open Water Dive Certification, Scuba Diver Certification, Open Water Referral, Rescue Diver Certification, and an Instructor Development Course (IDC).
Instruction and guided trips are delivered by certified instructors and professional guides who lead shore and boat dives, including morning 2-tank dives, sunset and night dives, and pool-based introductions like Try Scuba and Intro to Snorkeling at Limetree Pool. Equipment is provided on certain programs; the Open Water Referral notes provided dive gear and a shorty wetsuit.
For customized outings, Aqua Marine operates a 42-foot custom boat for full-day private charters that include up to three dive or snorkel sites and a lunch stop at a floating restaurant. Short-format options suit limited schedules: the Scuba Diver Certification can be completed in one day, and the Try Scuba pool session runs about 1.5 hours.
The center emphasizes safe, enjoyable underwater experiences and teaches skills from basic breathing in confined water to advanced rescue techniques. Courses align with recognized certification standards and the operation offers both PADI and SSI certification pathways where noted. Aqua Marine Dive Center focuses on local marine environments around St. Thomas to create reliable, well-supported diving and snorkeling experiences for visitors and aspiring professionals.
