Underwater Safaris
St. Thomas
Operating
since 1985, Underwater Safaris is a PADI Gold Palm Instructor
Development Center 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.
For
Divers with less experience we have sites ranging from depths
of 35' to 55' that offer very relaxed diving with little or
no surge or current and outstanding visibility. More advanced
divers would enjoy the challenge of the Kennedy and the Miss
Opportunity. Certified PADI Divemasters and Instructors accompany
all 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 dive
leaves at approx. 8:30 AM and returns at approx. 12:30 PM.
Often we go to Buck Island Wildlife Refuge and dive the wreck
of the Cartanza 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 with no surge or current and great
visibility!
