Admittedly, I wasn't actually thinking about a SCUBA trip on this vacation and we just happened…read moreupon Red Hook Dive Center. It's been 5 years since I last dove and I had never been on an ocean dive. Living in Kentucky limits my access to beaches but we have plenty of lakes, rivers, and quarries. We went in to purchase some souvenirs for our sons and I just asked on a whim if the young lady (Coralie) knew of any reputable dive crews that had any openings the week we were in the USVI. It took some convincing from my wife but I finally relented and signed up. I am so glad that I did. Fast forward a few days and we find ourselves in front of the Fool's Gold ship with a seasoned crew of divers and captains getting ready for an adventure of a lifetime! Both dives took place at Buck Island. Dive 1 was at Barracuda Point. It was a 41-minute dive of up to 65' - 70'. Dive 2 was at the wreck of the Cartanza Senora. It was a 49 minute dive of up to 50'. Having not been out for 5 years, I decided to enlist a private dive instructor at a small additional fee. Her name was Audrey and she was AMAZING! I was nervous and showing all the signs of a new diver (holding my breath, struggling with buoyancy, etc.). She put my mind at ease and by the end of the first dive, it was like riding a bicycle. We saw so much ocean life that I would have missed were it not for her. We saw spotted drum, blue tangs, moon jellyfish, a Caribbean reef shark, a nurse shark, green sea turtles, angelfish, yellowtail snappers, pink meanies, groupers, puffer fish, parrotfish, a hawksbill sea turtle (endangered), anemones, flounder, filefish, and a solo squid. I cannot finish this review without giving huge props to the entire crew of Becca, Paul, and Gus as well. They worked so well together and made the trip memorable for everyone on the boat and in the water. My wife, who did not dive or snorkel, even had a great time on the boat and floating in the water with pool noodles. If you are considering a dive while in St. Thomas or the USVI, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't make Red Hook Dive Center your first call. This was a trip I will always remember. Pro tip: Make sure you bring your GoPro or dive camera. The sea life is amazing and wondrous! I'm so glad I remembered mine.

I was VERY disappointed in my latest visit to RHDC (April 2026). After having dove with them in…read more2015, 2018, and 2023, I was REALLY excited to be back. The staff had completely changed and it showed. The ONLY person that I would give more than 1 star to for customer service was Audrey...5 stars isn't enough. She was FANTASTIC! A GREAT dive master and a GREAT customer service representative of the company! She walked around on the boat before and after the dives and talked to everyone to get to know them and see how they were doing. Truly a model employee! That's where it ends. EVERYONE else was mediocre at best. No personality, no interaction with the divers, no customer service skills. Sam was no help in the dive shop, the captains were just there for the paycheck...it was a complete turnaround from the staff that was there before. BY FAR, the WORST was May. She was the dive master on my third day of dives and was a complete and utter disappointment. She picked the WORST possible dive sites (NE side of St. Thomas across from Coral World at Thatch Cay), had ZERO personality or customer service skills, and was not ready to be leading divers. We spent the first ten minutes of the second dive swimming into a strong current and she had no clue. You could watch the rocks below and see that we weren't moving at all. She finally turned us around and we just flowed with it until the dive was over. No wildlife pointed out, no attempt at doing her job...it seemed like she was being burdened to have to take us out. Needless to say, I won't use RHDC again. If is wasn't for Audrey, I would give it 1 star. She was truly great at her job. The rest...not so much.

We booked months in advance a shore dive for Monday afternoon and a Boat Dive Tuesday morning with…read moreCoki Dive Center. They had my deposit and card on file and everything was taken care of. Fitting for fins and equipment takes a while. Good thing we arrived early (parking can be problematic) to get everything situated. The staff and crew of this shop are the most friendly and chill folks. Brett was awesome and chill with my teenage boys and eased and assured me they were in good hands. CDC also took underwater photos. We purchased the entire file of photos for $27. Worth it. Actually the shore dive and both dive was priceless and worth every penny. I would recommend Coki Dive Center for their dives in St Thomas.

First let me say the good. The diver masters Thomas and Triscuit, like the cracker, were very…read morefriendly and knowledgeable. The Captain Dave, I think, was also very friendly. We did a two tank dive, the first one at perseverance and the second at black rock. The dives were good. Now for the bad. As others have already said the boat had a leak and fumes from the engine could be smelled the whole time. It was not pleasant. They also only had warm water and rice crispy snacks between dives. All of which I could have lived with. We had a second dive already booked with them for July 3, 2026. They emailed me at 6:30 pm to tell me our dive was cancelled with no explanation. When I saw the email, the woman that answered the phone said they didn't have enough divers to run the boat. Because of the late notice, I am currently unable to book a dive with any other company. I will try in the morning but the short notice is extremely unprofessional. They should have told me this was a possibility when we booked. At least then I could have made other arrangements. Or despite the low numbers could have honored ours booking. If I had cancelled the day before they were entitled to keep my money. But I have no recourse. I would never dive with this company ever again.

This is a bait and switch company! We reserved 2 tank dives through JJ online (water and snacks…read moreincluded). Boat crew was from Admirality. Boat had an exhaust leak which choked us. No fresh water or snacks, no dip tanks. Air tanks were old with bad seals, one had "nitrox" peeled off. Almost all divers had some sort of small leak or seal issue. No dive master just a "Dive leader". No safety equipment shown to divers. 1st dive the captain put us in the wrong spot, 60 foot 15 minute dive wasted, back on the boat. Our surface interval time was just over 20 minutes between the other 2 "real" dives. We had to remind them about doing initial paperwork. Not a professional organization. Very disappointed!

On this Holland America ship excursion, the diving was OK, but I was very surprised to see Aluminum…read more72cf scuba tanks being used instead of Aluminum 80cf tanks, which required adjusting my preset tank straps on my BCD. Although it was not a problem, I was just surprised to find these tanks on a Caribbean dive. In fact, this was the only dive operator I have used anywhere in the world that uses these tanks, but I doubt many of the divers had a clue at to what size tank they had. Although the air quantity was ultimately sufficient for the shallow, low dive time profiles (33.5 and 37 minute dives), I would have preferred to have Aluminum 80s, and longer dive times. In all fairness to the dive operator, this was a ship excursion with a lot of low experience divers on a very large dive boat, and they no doubt had a tight schedule to maintain. The crew did a nice job dealing with, and keeping safe, so many low experience divers. I would have rated this dive operator higher had they split the divers into compatible experienced divers to provide a better dive experience for everyone.

We saw several islands, learned about the local history and enjoyed our day very much. We were absolutely wiped out by the end, but in a good way.
