Great Experience - Great experience for the 3 of us. Our PADI instructor was awesome. I had some issues at first with my gear, he was very patient and changed out what was causing the issue. From that point it was great. We saw many fish, corals, sea anemones, and a very big stingray that was sleeping at the bottom. I’d highly recommend this company if you are interested in diving.

Great Discovery SCUBA Dives - While 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!

Highly Recomend - Very enjoyable, relaxed open diving experience. When meeting the wife of the dive shop owners, she told her story of how they left Ohio on a lark and ended up in St. Thomas. Her 20-year-old note to her husband was tacked to the wall. The DM was Jared, a New Orleans transplant, and the captain was from Juniper, Florida. With a limited number of divers, Jared could guide us through six fun dives effortlessly but safely. While not Bonaire or Cozumel, they made the best of St. Thomas' dive spots.

Calm and friendly intro to the underwater world - Got a tip from our charter boat captain to check out the Discover Scuba Diving course at Aqua Action, and I'm so so glad we did. I was intrigued by the idea of scuba, but was bringing a lot of anxiety to the party. It took a little time to locate the dive shop (off the beach next to the restaurants at Secret Harbor), but the staff there were friendly and wonderful. We got checked in and once our whole group was there, we had a quick but thorough lesson from Stephanie. We got suited up -- took me 3 tries to stand up with all the equipment :) -- and then hit the water. Stephanie was relaxed, friendly, and her calm confidence helped me get past the fear and enjoy exploring the beautiful underwater world on the reef. Stephanie pointed out lots of cool sea life, and I never felt worried or confused about the safety of our group or equipment. It was a wonderful experience and I wish we could have extended our trip to do the full Open Water Certification with Aqua Action. Can't recommend this spot more!

Look for a deep dive for a real experience. - The description was a little misleading. You go out from the beach and only go about 15 feet down. It’s cool that there’s coral and sea life that close to shore but I also could have snorkeled and seen the same things since it’s close to shore. Cool experience if you want to know what scuba is like and plan to take steps to get certified. I was hoping for a deep dive off a boat so it was disappointing but now I know scuba isn’t for me.
