Sorry for the long review-but has a lot of detail! My boyfriend, brother, friend and I were all on my family cruise with Carnival this past April and we found ourselves wanting to dive in St. Thomas (the first island on our stop). I did my own searching because I am never one to follow the ships excursions. My group... More

We dove with Blue Island last month during a cruise ship stop. I worked with the owner DJ to plan the day via email and over the phone and they were very pleasant and great to work with. We had a group of four divers, three of whom had been recently certified and were doing their first post-certification open water... More

While I have not dived with Blue Island divers, it is not bc I didn't try. Between my dive buddy and myself, we contacted them a total of 9 times (through email, phone calls and via Facebook) to try and arrange a dive charter while we are in St. Thomas and we received one very brief email back. Therefore, we... More

I have been diving the Caribbean since 2004, and this was my first dive from a Cruise ship, I booked it on my own prior to leaving on my cruise. The staff as well as the Dive Masters were absolutely wonderful, very informative, and above all Fun. No Cattle boat here, we had a total of Seven divers on our... More

I did a discover dive with Blue Island Divers along with some experienced diver friends. A discover dive let's you try it with some limitations after spending about 1/2 day getting the basics and with very close supervision of an instructor. If you're wondering about diving this is a superb way to try it out. We all had a blast... More

We dove with BID for two days. Tailored the sites to our requests. Very accomadating. Liked the crew, afraid to say names as some allready have big heads. Good boat, good crew, great sites. Can not say anything but good, we have more than 150 dives on St. Thomas and we love these guys. More

I was recommended to Blue Island Divers from another dive shop on the island so I could dive on a particular day. I made the arrangements via the internet and DJ was always prompt in responding to me. DJ even went as far to accommodate me and move the morning dive time (after checking with all who were scheduled) to... More

From the time I contacted D.J. to the time we picked up our dive equipment and sadly left the dive shop, our experience with Blue Island Divers was first class. There is a reason why we only dive with Blue Island Divers when we visit St. Thomas (actually, many!). The valet service, the great dive briefings, the super friendly crew,... More

My wife, daughter, son-in-law and I booked Blue Island Divers based on a friends referral, glad we listened. They are an excellent dive operator and very safety oriented. Booking was extremely easy and accomplished on-line. We visited St. Thomas on a Carnival cruise and as usual never book through the cruise line for our dives, avoiding the big cattle car... More
