An AMAZING way to get certified!

After using the SSI e-learning course for several weeks during the beginning of the summer, my daughter Stephanie became a certified diver for her 13th birthday. The Aqua Marine instructor Audrey was absolutely FANTASTIC, taking her from a full morning pool session to confirm her skills through 4 amazing dives at Christmas Cove and Little St. James. I could not be happier with the entire Aqua Marine team...Captain Teddy, Dive Masters Dave and Tommy, Instructor Audrey, Jessica and Michelle. All were wonderful throughout the process and the dives. Getting certified to be an open water diver with Aqua Marine is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Thank you for opening up a whole new world for my daughter!

Best on St. Thomas

Many thanks to Tommy, Jess, Steve, David and Audrey for an amazing experience finishing my daughter’s Open Water certification. My husband and daughter did 4 dives with them and I snorkeled twice. It was nothing short of fantastic. Because they had done 2 sites the day before they made certain to go to different locations on day 2. They were professional, fun, safe and caring. Fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
