So he has adopted a dog named Lily and now calls STX home.

DECO THE DIVE DOG
Also known as "The Management", Deco can be found most days at the shop greeting customers in-between her very important naps. A 100% pure bred Virgin Islands Coconut Retriever, she loves being around the water. She's happiest floating with her mom and dad in the ocean, or rolling around on the beach with one of her beloved coconuts. You can keep up with Deco the Dive Dog's adventures on both her Facebook and Instagram pages.
OUR BOATS
One of the many things that sets Nep2une Scuba Diving apart from other dive shops is that we have two boats which we limit to only 6 passengers, for a much more personalized, comfortable, and enjoyable experience! Both boats have dry storage, a cooler with cold drinking water and light refreshments such as fruit or cookies, as well as all Coast Guard required safety equipment. You’ll very soon love whichever boat you are on and might be lucky enough to try them both!
NEPTUNE
“Neptune” is our Catamaran with a one of a kind marine uniqueness as a true displacement hull offering a very swift and comfortable ride to our dive sites. After an easy back roll entrance, you’ll find yourself ready to dive! When the dive is over, we have a brand new custom built aluminum dive ladder with large hand railings that makes an easy egress back onto the boat.
N2 THE BLUE
“N2 the Blue” is our Panga-style boat with its long and sleek design that makes for a very comfortable ride out to our many dive sites. It has ample bow seating, an 8 foot Bimini top for shade, and a custom dive door opening for an easy entrance that starts you right at water level for gearing up before you effortlessly roll forward right in the water.
