OUR STORY
Founded in 2015, the Adventures in Diving STX was the idea of two friends and their passion for diving. We settled in Frederiksted, USVI because we enjoyed its history, relaxing lifestyle, and calm, clear waters. We want you and your friends to discover the beauty of diving in St. Croix's warm, clear blue waters. The diverse marine life gives you the opportunity enjoy the magnificent mysteries of the Caribbean sea.

VICKI MILLER
SSI INTRUCTOR TRAINER
I’ve been scuba diving since 2007. I truly fell in love with the ocean and the vast variety of aquatic life is so very engrossing. There is so much to learn and know. I am recently retired from law enforcement although I still volunteer. I have experience with public safety diving (7 years) and I teach most courses from recreational to professional levels. I met my husband scuba diving and he is certified as a Divemaster. We are always diving. Our son also enjoys diving.
Recommendations to all divers: Keep learning and dive.. There is always more to learn.
