Meet the Aqua Action Team

Hunter and Elena are happily married for 24 years and counting. They have travelled the world together and lived in Los Angeles, Houston and Las Vegas as well as explored countless tropical destinations over the years. They have also been coming to St Thomas for almost 2 decades and have called the island home since 2016. They are co-owners of Aqua Action Dive Center and Patagon Dive Center and feel blessed to be part of two of the longest standing legacy dive operations on the island. They have worked hard to integrate the two brands now nestled together in their quaint bricks and mortar dive shop at Secret Harbour Beach Resort!
