Awesome crew, boat and experience! - Huge shout out to Captain Tommy and our amazing snorkeling crew of Erika and Jaime! We were a party of 13 ranging in age from 10 years old to almost 80. Their attention to detail (sizing everyone's gear before we left) and genuine desire to make sure we had a ton of fun can not be overstated. Our first stop was a small island (formerly Epstein's Island for real) about 15 minutes from the dock where we saw coral and tropical fish. Erika lead the group and showed us all kinds of fish and Jaime trailed us to make sure we were all safe and together for the close to 60 minutes in the water while Captain Tommy hung out with my dad on the boat chatting it up. Our second stop was in a little cove where we saw an amazing spotted eagle ray and 4 or 5 super friendly turtles that didn't much care that we were there watching them eat :) The boat was stocked with snacks and plenty to drink. The fact the Erika and Jaime are both dive instructors came shining through when they helped teach my nephew proper snorkeling technique and even helped me get my mom, who hadn't snorkeled in a number of years, get reacclimated to the water and got her to the spot where the eagle ray was just in time before he swam off. It felt like we've known them all for years and with their knowledge of the island and sharing fun tidbits it really made for a great morning. I wish we had more time with them but we were there on a cruise so our time was limited. Getting there was easy too, we set up a Mercedes van with Jack's Taxi Service 772-293-1688. They were super helpful accommodating my parents who, being older, don't get around like they used to ;) Five stars for everyone! Hope to see them again when we get back to St Thomas!

Hands down, best snorkel tour I have done! - Tommy, Crystal and Jamie were our crew this past week on our half-day snorkel tour. The small group option is the way to go! The snorkel locations were both beautiful, with ample underwater life. We had incredibly personalized service. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Priceless family memory!! - I took my 8 and 9 year old on the morning snorkeling trip and we had such a great experience together. I was secretly nervous because it was their first time, although they are both great swimmers. Jamie made us feel so comfortable and helped us all relax and enjoy the incredible beauty of nature. The kids had a blast and never even knew I was nervous! Jamie pointed out different fish to the kids and was full of jokes to make the learning curve easier for all the equipment. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much for the priceless family memories!

Had a GREAT time with them! 2-tank fun! - Went on a 2 tank dive with Steff and Tommy on July 2023, everything went great. They were super helpful with the whole group, we all had a great time, saw nurse sharks, large lobsters, and many many fish.
The team was great, well organized, felt safe and supported at all times. The gear was great as well.
Will definitely go out with them when I visit St. Thomas again.

Snorkel and dive trip for 12 - We had a group of 12 - 1 diver, 3 intro to diving and 8 snorkelers for a private half day trip beginning in the morning. Captain Teddy and Dive instructor Spencer and Snorkel guide Steph made sure our trip out was wonderful. Whether we were down below or snorkeling above we were able to see and experience beautiful reef life. We all felt safe and guided. Capped off our trip with a rum punch return to dock. So much fun!

AMAZING!!!!! - My family and I had an amazing experience with Aqua Marine! Captain Tommy was so great! My son had his first dive with Spencer and it was amazing! Spencer was thorough and had such a great personality guiding our new diver! He now has the fever! The rest of us snorkeled with David and he was so kind and very informative of all that we were seeing! These guys were the absolute best!! From booking the trip online to departing, everything went smooth! I would highly recommend them!!! Thanks guys for making it the best part of our trip!

Captain Steve & Dive Master Dave! - Diving with this company was great. From booking to the end of the dive was a great experience. We had Captain Steve & Dive Master Dave. They were so awesome. They were extremely informative about the dives site. Also gave us tips about the island as well as other islands & buying a boat advice. Dive master Dave was very patient w/ me. I am an advance diver but I have trouble equalizing on my 1st dive. He stayed right there w/ me. Captain Steve & Dive Master Dave treated us like their family. They provided snacks, beverage throughout our time with them & at the end some yummy rum punch. Morning dives are for certified divers we got lucky. Including us there were a total of 4 people. The equipment they have is also in great shape. We will be back.

Great diving in St Thomas! - Fantastic morning with dive master Nen and Captain Steve. Private morning dive for two of us. We are both new divers and really appreciated the personal service and reassurance of both Nen and Steve. They truly made the experience more relaxing and enjoyable for us. Beautiful coral and many fish. Loved it!
