Experience the beauty and wonders of our surrounding sea, the "Patagon Style"!!

With more than 40 years of combined local marine knowledge, our Patagon Team consistenly delivers the most fun, exciting, safe, and personalized diving services in St. Thomas.

Our credentials are validated by serving customers known for demanding quality and high standards. Our staff is praised for their attentive service, high safety standards, and professional skills. Frequently, those compliments come from well traveled divers who can compare our "Patagon Style" with many of other dive destinations all over the World.

Most Saint Thomas dive operators market their services to a broad customer audience including many hotels, cruise ship passengers, and local tourist publications. In contrast, Patagon Dive Center only serves to a selected clientelle from its single location. Since 1992 our Dive Shop is located at the waterfront of The Ritz Carlton Hotel.
Over the years, our reputation for excellence in service, and a for long lasting relationship with our customers rests on the following premises:
  • Small groups chosen by level of experience
  • Fleet of dive boats able to accommodate different dive groups
  • Comfortable schedule with, please, no early wake-up calls.
  • Impeccable safety record
  • Dive Gear kept hygenic and next to new
  • Attentive, cordial, accomodating, and multilingual staff with extensive experience in the field
  • Rich selection of dive sites
  • Uncrowded boats and uncrowded waters

At Patagon Dive Center we are known for being accomodating and attentive to the needs of our clients and, yet, their reviews more often commend our "in the water" performance. Our small dive groups are guided by dive masters with superior dive skills and a keen knowledge of our local marine life. Our staff is equally sensitive to the expectations of first timers, the experienced, and even those looking for their "comfort zone".
