Two-Tank Morning Dive Trip for Certified Divers

First time diving in USVI and we had a great experience with Low Key! Captain Andre and dive guide Dave were friendly, knowledgeable and we appreciated their safety focus. Fantastic morning of diving at the renowned French Cap site where we spotted several sharks and loved the topography. Definitely recommend this operator whether you are new to diving or are a seasoned pro. We took the ferry over from St Thomas and it was easy to grab a coffee and quick bite to eat before walking over to their shop/dock. Can’t wait to come back!

Bring your own regulator and BCD and this is a great shop. Good people given very low quality rental equipment. Multiple regulator failures seen over 3 days. Seriously- we’ve been on 100+ dives each and 2 of our divers on the boat had complete failures. The BCD pockets lost their weights 3 times on our 6 dives (in our entire groups) Thank goodness these are shallow dive sites. The equipment was SO poor, I considered reporting this shop to PADI. Their boat was fantastic. Personally- I would take a lesser boat with safe equipment every day of the week.

Excellent experience with Low Key Watersports. The guides (Ellie and Ellie) were fun and they took us on two really fun dive locations. There was a little trouble with the ferry from St Thomas because unknown to either Low Key or myself the ferry schedule changed for the off-season, and we almost missed our dive. Fortunately Low Key was in contact with us and they waited a few minutes so we could join the dive. In the end we did not hold up the boat and we were very thankful they were able to accommodate my wife and I to join the dive. I would highly recommend Low Key if you go diving on St. John!

Went here with my best friend to re-introduce him to scuba. Nice shop, decent boat, very good DM. My buddy actually had a busted eardrum years before and was a bit janky about the whole diving thing and had issues getting back into the water the first time- and had some pain and cut the dive. When we were back on the boat- I pulled the DM aside and noted the issue to him, and this guy really really went all out to give personal service and instruction to my friend. Second dive was a BLAST! Turns out my buddy got bit by the diving but, and then got infected with diving disease- and now he's an Instructor!!! All in the last two years, and all because 1 DM from this shop took the time and care to help just 1 person, a VET, who's now helping others. I don't know how you can give a better or higher recommendation to a team or a shop than that. GREAT JOB LOW KEY!!!! 5 thumbs up

My husband and I are avid divers and we took our niece out with Low Key for a DSD for her 15th birthday. Ellie was her instructor and she was absolutely amazing with her! The seas were a bit choppy that day, but the captain took us to the calmest places available and we had a blast! The highlight for my niece was seeing an octopus alive in the wild. Plus the green sea turtles are always fun. Highly recommend

Our boat captain (Paul) and dive guide (Ellie) were awesome. They chose places where both the diving and snorkeling would be great. They were able to take us around St John to see some of the sights and share some of the history. We had a great lunch at Pizza Pi in a nice calm cove. The boat was beautiful too- new and comfortable for our group of six. Overall it was a great day on the water!

Had a really disappointing week with Low Key Watersports. Four of us came to St. John for 10 days to scuba dive. We went into the store and purchased 8-tank dive packages through Jay. We told him we wanted to dive every other day starting the next day. He booked us for the first 2 days and said to hold off on the others to see if other dives like the MS Rhone ended up being offered. We dove the first 2 days with divemasters who jumped in the water and took off. During parts of the dive no one in the group even new where they were and it was hard to see due to lower visibility than usual. They definitely were not focused on the safety of the divers and only once in 4 dives did any of them check our remaining air supplies. After the first 2 days of diving we tried to book our remaining 2 days and were told they were full until Saturday so they refunded our money. They did not refer us to another dive operator so we searched online and ended up diving with Aqua Action on St. Thomas. They were great and we recommemd using them. But we had to take the ferry and a taxi and haul our equipment with us which added effort and at least an extra $100 each day. For two of us it was our ninth trip to St. John and we brought the other two divers to show them how great the diving was. We were all so disappointed that we all agree we may never return. So we will put Grand Cayman into our rotation instead. So beware - the current team at Low Key is disorganized and unprofessional. Perhaps if management changes, we will return sometime but it will be years from now.

I recently returned from a week's vacation in St. John. St. John is one of my all-time favorite places on the planet and I've been returning on a fairly regular basis since first traveling there in 2010. Usually, when I'm in St. John, I make a point of booking a few dives with Low Key and this trip was no exception. This time, I booked four days of diving (all morning dives, though I often mix it up with afternoons, as well). Unfortunately, I couldn't do a night dive with them this time, due to scheduling, but I have in the past and absolutely love their night dives! On this trip I did three days of two-tank morning dives and one day of the Adventure Dives. One of the things I love the most about diving with Low-Key is that most of the sites are only 10-15 minutes from the dock. That means less time on the boat and more time in the water! Also, May can be a gusty month in St. John. So, the water was a little choppy, but a very comfortable 81 degrees. Again, given the abundance of dive sites, it meant the crew could easily find sites we could still comfortably dive high winds notwithstanding. Some of the things we saw were turtles, rays, eels, lobster, a nurse shark, barracuda, and other amazing fish and coral formations (particularly at Mingo). The crew couldn't be nicer. On this trip I dove with Serenity, Ellie, and Dave all of whom were outstanding dive leaders. The two captains (across all my trips) were Andre and Paul, also both really lovely. One really nice plus of diving this time is that they have a new catamaran that can convert from a dive boat to a leisure craft which gave more room to spread out before and after dives, which was really nice. I love the team at Low Key and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and I'm already looking forward to diving with them again, when I'm back in St. J next year (hopefully, I'm be able to fit in a night dive that time)!

Great Experience! Absolutely recommend Low Key. Thank You

I had a 2-tank Adventure dive with Low Key Divers and it was terrific! Lilly was our Dive master and Sam was the Captain. They did a great job at guiding our group through awesome pass-throughs and along a nice wall. They were god at spotting things and found a well camo-ed octopus. The boat was very nice and well organized. also it was not crowded (a total of 8 divers. I will visit them again the next time I am in St. John.
