When I was in Coki Beach, St. Thomas, we dove around Grassy Cay and Thatch Cay. Peter, the owner/captain of the Coki Beach Dive Club told me many boats from St. Johns also come to these same sites. The difference is they charge $125, whereas he charges $80. He also gave a $9 discount for cruise passengers who come to dive with him from the cruise dock (to compensate for taxi).
Well, we did see a dive boat, he said it was from St. John.
Don't know if this was true. But Peter seemed like a good genuine guy. Both this Aug., and last Aug., I did a 2-tank boat dive with him (in a cruise port stop at St. Thomas). I was the only diver both times. He said he doesn't really make money with me as the only diver, but that's ok. He took my booking and he honors it.

The three main dive operations on St. John are; Low Key watersports in Cruz Bay, Chris Sawyer Diving @ Caneel Bay Resort and Cruz Bay Watersports @ the Westin Resort. Cruz Bay has a reputation for rude staff, but they have changed management recently so things may have changed. All three operations dive the same sites with a few exceptions. Also, there are a couple of smaller operations on island.
