SSI
For more than 45 years, SSI has provided training, scuba diving certification, and educational resources for divers, dive instructors, dive centers and resorts around the world. Started in 1970, SSI has expanded to include more than 30 Service Centers, is represented in more than 110 countries with over 2,800 International locations, and has materials printed in more than 30 languages. SSI is the name to trust in the diving world, and we attribute that success to our uncompromising standards and focused methodology.
SDI
SDI was created in 1998 and grew out of the success of our sister company TDI, which specializes in the more advanced disciplines of dive training.
Both students and instructors have embraced the no nonsense approach that the SDI training system offers. We have streamlined the course materials to let students study the essential academics with an emphasis on practical diving skills learned in both the pool and open water environments. SDI is the only scuba training and certification agency to require students to be taught with modern dive computers from the onset of training.
SDI course materials are state-of-the-art; the materials are lavishly illustrated with photography and graphics.
Diving is constantly changing. SDI staff is always looking forward and striving to be the innovators in scuba diving education. SDI focus is to make the experience of diving one that is enjoyed by every family member. Find more info here https://www.tdisdi.com/our-story/
PADI
PADI Divers carry the most respected and sought after scuba diving credentials in the world. No matter where you choose to dive, your PADI certification card will be recognized and accepted. In fact, on most scuba diving adventures, you’ll be surrounded by other PADI Divers who made the same certification choice you did – to train with the world’s largest and most respected scuba diving training organization.

Turtle Cove
Aqua marine dive center guided our snorkeling experience and it couldn’t have been with a better team. Jessica was very experienced and knowledgeable and made it for a wonderful time. She was also very attentive to me as I am seven months pregnant. I would definitely recommend this crew for your diving or snorkeling outing.

Anna, Amy, and Wolfgang, and Justin were amazing guides and boat captains. We saw sea turtles, shark, eels, stingrays, shipwrecks, and fish. Basically we saw all the things. Everyone was great with our kids and we made memories of a lifetime. Major Tom signing off.

"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..."

The crew did a great job of taking us our for a very relaxed stress free dive day. We were able to wreck dive and see a beautiful reef with a couple of sharks in the distance. I would definitely return to Aqua Marine.
