I agree with the Maho suggestion. I lived at Maho for a while in the mid 90's. I love it there and the watersports staff has been there for a long time! For those who aren't into the treehouses, there are a couple of options. My last trip to the USVI, I actually opted to stay at The Wyndham Sugar Bay on STT. They are one of the only hotels in the caribbean that offer an All Inclusive Option. It was wonderful not having to worry about food costs and the first time on the island I actually had airconditioning. The resorts on STJ can be pricey, especially adding in food costs. Anyhow, it's a nice resort and only 5 minutes away from the Red Hook Ferry. Best of both worlds, convenience of a nice hotel, plus easy access to St John. We rented a jeep and left it on STJ as we weren't too interested in exploring more than the hotel on STT.
We got certified with Coki Beach Dive Shop STT, which was also 5 minutes from the hotel. The certification was nice as they had a shore entry and 2 reefs within a short swims distance.
Highly recommend the BVI's too. Which make for a good day trip from both STT/STJ. We are going for a week in December and staying at the Wyndham again.
