Dive In Catering and Events is a private chef and catering company serving St. Thomas and St. John in the US Virgin Islands, with services extending across the Leeward Islands. Led by Caribbean-born and raised Chef Salma James, the brand creates island-inspired meals that put local ingredients and produce first. Chef Salma’s cooking draws on the flavors and spices she learned while growing up in her father’s restaurant in Dominica, combined with her own ideas and curiosity about other cuisines.

Services include private breakfast and dinner prepared at your villa, boat charter, or business, as well as gourmet meal drop-offs for guests who want to enjoy a relaxed vacation. Dive In also caters weddings and other events, offering tailored menus to suit clients’ tastes and dietary needs, with tastings available by inquiry. Guests can add a Bloody Mary bar or mimosas to start the day. The company aims to create an authentic culinary experience while taking care of meal planning and preparation, so guests can spend more time enjoying the islands.
