Turtle Cove
"This is my 3rd year of diving with Aqua Marine. I come back every summer. Ana and Wolfgang are some of the greatest people you will ever meet and they will take care of your every need to have a safe, fun and exciting dive experience. Their boat is the best and easiest dive boat on the island!"
Lee Blair
"We had the most amazing experience at Aqua Marine. Anna and Wolfgang made us all feel so comfortable and welcome. We felt like we were with family. I highly recommend anyone wanting to dive/snorkel in St. Thomas to use Aqua Marine, the knowledge and professionalism are outstanding."

"We have traveled to St. Thomas many times and chartered private boats for different excursions but Aqua Marine was by far the best. The price was perfect and the staff was awesome. We took the 4 hour trip to Buck Island and Turtle Cove and we had a wonderful time. We had a small group of 7 and we laughed to see the big tour groups of 25-30 people being rushed around. Ours was an intimate experience with the friendly and knowledgeable staff..."

Ana and Wolf were fantastic. They did a great job accommodating our large group that included folks of varying ages and snorkeling experience. They also gave us options regarding where we would go based on what we were looking to see. Would recommend this for folks looking to see the island and enjoy a relaxing, fun, and adventurous day in St. Thomas.
Colleen from Toledo, OH
BEST DIVE TRIP OF MY LIFE - Ana and Wolfgang are hilarious and they took us to the best diving spots I’ve ever seen! We saw sting rays, turtles, sharks, beautiful fish. So much fun! Definitely coming back
