They say that once you own a Dive Shop, the first thing you do is STOP Diving!! Not true with N2 The Blue. I'm Derrick Hill and my wife and I started N2 The Blue in 2002 because we thought people should have the option to dive with smaller, more personal groups. 

 

I've been diving since I was 12 years old.  I finished my Divemaster at university, and achieved my instructor certification three years later. I started working on a dive boat in Ft. Lauderdale while waiting on the job that would sweep me off to the islands. Then, I went to work on Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos Islands for a couple of years before coming to St. Croix. Since being on St. Croix, I have served on the Board of Directors for SEA (St. Croix Environmental Association) in 2007, and enjoy still being involved in daily operations.

staff_150x_anne-1.jpg (9442 bytes)After getting certified in Curacao I immediately got addicted to diving (like most people do..) I dove a bunch of different places in Europe and the Red Sea before I eventually returned to the Caribbean Sea.. 

It happened in 2002.. My best friend and I left The Netherlands (yes, I'm Dutch) and found our way to St. Croix.. After completing our Divemaster Training and an unforgettable 3 months we returned home. She stayed there, and I decided not to. A few weeks later I came back to St. Croix, and I've been here ever since! 

Living on St. Croix has been great for me; I met my husband, we have a fun and personalized business, I became a licensed captain, have done well over 2000 dives just on St. Croix, and pretty much every day I'm in the water leading dives or I'm sitting on the boat as a captain.. Not too bad, right? 

 

I absolutely love the diving over here; there is always something new to look at;

uncountable amounts of Critters and Fish, Dolphins, Turtles, Rays, Eels, Sharks and during February/march Whales that are migrating by.. Come and check it out!!  

 

Steve Medford

Steve is our shop manager.  He moved to St. Croix from Frisco, Texas.  His former career involved trading jet fuel.  Since then, he has embraced his true passion of diving, and is now a divemaster.  St. Croix is his new home and he has no plans on going anywhere anytime soon.

 

Jenny Keith

Jennifer and her husband Paul moved to St. Croix a year ago from Florida.  She has a long history of working in the dive industry.  Jenny's experience as a divemaster on Florida charter boats makes her a great dive guide.  She is our primary dive instructor, and ready to teach you all she knows.

 Tim Blanchette

Tim moved to St Croix from Massachusetts.  He came to N2 The Blue as an experienced recreational diver.  It didn't take long for him to decide that diving should be his next career.  Now we have him divemastering on the boat regularly.

 Doreen Weekley

Doreen is another customer that we talked into working for us.  She manages the pier shop.  When she is not working, you will find her under the water at the pier.  She is a great person to ask for intel on where the frogfish, seahorses, and batfish are hiding.
