Scuba Diving in St Thomas

6 tours · €64–€204 per person · ★ 4.9

Scuba diving in St Thomas is reef and wreck diving in warm water a short boat ride from the east end, and the 6 dive trips on this page were picked by hand after we read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is a two tank morning boat dive for certified divers from €64 per person; the most expensive are discover scuba sessions for beginners with pool time first and private guided dives.

Certified divers need to show a card, and the two tank trips assume you can manage your own gear with a guide in the water. Discover scuba takes you to a shallow reef after a briefing and does not count toward a certification. Gear rental is sometimes priced on top of the dive, so read the inclusions, and the boats leave early to beat the afternoon chop. Flying within a day of the dive is the usual restriction.
