This small-group tour in St Thomas offers a Discover Scuba Diving experience for participants without certification. The tour begins on a dive boat where the instructor provides a detailed explanation of the scuba equipment and safety procedures. Groups are limited to no more than four students per instructor to ensure close guidance. After the briefing, participants take their first ocean dive under the instructor's supervision, spending time underwater observing tropical fish. Following the initial dive, guests may choose to do a second dive or snorkel at a different location nearby. The boat is stocked with bottled water, soft drinks, snacks, and rum punch, which are available after the diving or snorkeling activities. The tour lasts about three and a half hours and includes the use of snorkeling gear. Both divers and snorkelers can participate together, with some diving while others snorkel on the surface. All participants must be able to swim and complete a medical questionnaire before the tour; some may require a doctor's approval to dive. Children aged ten and older can join if accompanied by an adult. Transportation to and from the departure point is not included.

Itinerary
Check-in at Aqua Marine Dive CENTER (at Saga Haven Marina) 30 MIN before the start of your excursion for gear fitting and completion of needed paperwork. Before leaving the dock, the Captain gives a safety briefing after which you can relax while you're instructor shows you skills and explains diver safety and basics for the 15 to 30 minute ride to the first dive site. Once there, you will get in the water with one of our highly qualified instructors to practice some learned skills and get comfortable breathing through the regulator. Then it's dive time with your instructor by your side! You'll see tropical fish, coral reef, and probably even turtles and rays. After dive #1, enjoy snacks and ask your instructor any questions on your way to site #2 where you can snorkel or, upon agreement between you and your instructor, upgrade your scuba experience, to do a second dive.
