Cruise Passengers

Please do not wait until you are in port to make your decision to Snuba with us...our dives generally fill up prior to your ship's arrival.

Book direct with us of course! We are the oldest Snuba operation in the world and we accommodate thousands of cruise ships passengers every year. Everyone has a great time and gets back to the ship on time!

If you are coming in on a cruise, keep in mind Virgin Islands Snuba Excursions cannot be booked directly through your ship you must book directly with us. Virgin Islands Snuba Excursions takes out thousands of cruise customers every year that book directly through our web site. We have worked with most of the cruise lines in the past but found the pressure to rush large groups of people through the Snuba experience was not conducive to the more casual and intimate experience we like to provide. The internet has allowed us to "cut ties" with the cruise lines while still providing the opportunity for cruise passengers to experience our tour in a much less hurried manner. Our Snuba operation differs in a few ways from the ship's Snuba tour:

• Our dives are longer. The St. Thomas Snuba excursion offered on the ship - practice and dive - will only be about 20 - 30 minutes of total in-water time our in-water time is 45 minutes to an hour.
• We give a thorough safety orientation and then we go into the water for a practice session. Our dive consists of a shallow water practice which allows everyone to get comfortable with the breathing and the equipment (while keeping your feet firmly planted in the silky sand of Coki Beach), we check our buoyancy and then you are led on a guided underwater tour. Our average dive time is 30 minutes this does not include the time in the water getting comfortable. Total water time is about 45 minutes to an hour.
• We take photos of our customers underwater, which can be viewed at www.visnuba.com/digitalphotos.htm.
• We have been specializing in Snuba for over 19 years and do not divide ourselves between snorkeling, scuba diving, and Snuba diving we ONLY do Snuba. We are the Snuba specialists!
• We are the "oldest" Snuba operation in the world, operating Snuba since 1988.
• Our groups are small and personal allowing for more time for comfort of the individual
• Our Snuba operation is the only exclusively family owned and operated Snuba operation in the Virgin Island.
