This was such a great experience our family had even for our son who’s 14 and first time diving. The team were excellent in teaching us what to do along with being very friendly. The facility was nice and clean and not over crowded. We went out with a small group of people (6 people, four of which were with us...lol) the instructors made sure to point out things that we may have missed. Huge lobsters, puffer fish, corals, ship recks and so on. They took pictures under water with a professional grade camera that are available for purchase after the dive. (Great deal as you get all the pics from that day not just tour dive!) Definitely will be back to do this again!!

My son and I had always wanted to try scuba diving and we got our chance during our cruise stop in St. Maarten. We surely seemed to get a lot for what we paid. It was much easier than either of us thought it would be and honesty once I was under the water, I forgot to be nervous. We got to see the ocean in a whole new way. We couldn't thank our instructors enough and we will never forget our first dive.

I was on the fence about scuba diving but all of my friends are divers. While making my vacation plans I saw this shore excursion offered on the website and for the price, how can you beat it? The instruction was better than good and I felt very safe. The instructor was always right there and witnessed me falling in love with scuba diving. I am ready to join my friends now. Thank you so much!

From the minute I put on the gear, I know I was hooked on SCUBA diving. This is just an introduction to diving but it was enough to let me know I wanted more. The instructors are beyond patient and helpful.
