- In 2004, Dive Experience owner Michelle Pugh was inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame:

Michelle’s love for the ocean, passion for exploration and environmental activism has guided her diving career since 1970. She is the founder of Dive Experience, St. Croix’s oldest originally owned dive center. Michelle was the first woman to teach PADI classes in Moscow, Russia. She spearheaded “Project Anchor Away” which established dive moorings throughout St. Croix and serves as a testament to her vision for protecting the marine environment. Michelle involvement on the Fisheries Advisory Committee and her work to create the East End Marine Park is part of her continued concern for the US Virgin Island marine life.
