In addition, the Gold Palm Instructor Development Center rating indicates that the facility not only meets all Gold Palm Resort standards, but also offers PADI Instructor-level training. Gold Palm Resort recipients are recognized for presenting a professional image and considering customer satisfaction, dive experiences, education, safety and environmental awareness as important aspects of their business.

The main retail shop and administrative headquarters is located at the Yacht Haven Marina, formerly Ramada Yacht Haven Hotel and Marina that is immediately adjacent to the St. Thomas cruise ship dock.
