Whether beginner or advanced, that's what Underwater Safaris' customers say again and again about their diving adventure, exploring coral reefs and sunken shipwrecks in beautiful, warm Caribbean water with visibility that often exceeds 100 feet.

Operating since 1985, Underwater Safaris is a PADI 5-Star Dive Center and Gold Palm Resort Facility with a record for safety unequaled by any other organization. The dive boats are U.S. Coast Guard inspected driven by a licensed captain, and all instructors are PADI-trained with years of experience leading both certified and non-certified divers.

Described by Skin Diver Magazine as: "the best stocked dive shop in the Caribbean," Underwater Safaris is clearly the premiere dive operator on St. Thomas and St. John.

Dive sites range from depths of 35' to 55' and offer very relaxed diving with little or no surge or current and outstanding visibility. Certified PADI Divemasters and Instructors accompany divers throughout the dive tour giving informative pre-dive briefings. They also point out unique marine life and any hazards along the way, greatly enhancing the overall educational value, safety and enjoyment of the dives.

Local weather conditions the day of the dive determines the best sites to dive. Normally, we do two dives in the morning; the first is a reef dive and the second is a wreck dive. The am divetour leaves at approx. 8:30 AM and returns at approx. 12:30 PM. The pm tour leaves at 12:30 pm and returns at 4:30 pm, Often we go to Buck Island Wildlife Refuge and dive the wreck of the Cartanser Senior. Another favorite spot is the Navy Barges, a great wreck dive with lots of intriguing marine life. All of our certified dives are guided with a maximum of 10 divers per instructor and are conducted in water no deeper than 60 feet with no surge or current and great visibility!
