Don't skip this one! - Do NOT miss out on this excursion! Kelly and Mich (michelle) are truly passionate professionals. They treated my family like their family. She's a marine biologist with a resume (CV) you could only dream of and he speaks 5 languages and is a certified dive instructor with 40k dives. As a mother, I had ZERO issues trusting him with my childrens' safety. They made sure we had the best experience & my kids will never forget it (14, 12, 10). They also Tailor to experience level & truly just want each participant to have the best time. We had a participant in our group that had claustrophobia & they tailored his experience to what he would enjoy best. If we're ever here again, we'll definitely come back through.

Well worth it- book now! - My husband and I just did a tour and it was the best anniversary experience we’ve had thus far! My husband is not a fan of the ocean and after years of asking him to SNUBA, he finally gave in. The instructors are husband and wife with many, many, years of experience and it truly shows! They were very informative and took the time to explain everything to my husband to ensure comfort! We also always had an instructor nearby while in the water which gives peace of mind. They also took many photos for us, just in case, and the price was reasonable and well worth it! If you’re thinking about it- do it!!!

Highlight of our trip! - My husband, teenage boys, and myself had the best time. Kelly and her partner were amazing and patient. Very well planned and organized. I highly recommend this if you think you might be interested in scuba. I stayed closer to the surface and Kelly was great to check on me through the excursion. Great location for pickup as well!

My Snuba Experience with SNUBA SXM - I would highly recommend SNUBA SXM. I had an incredible experience diving with Michel and Kelly and I can’t say enough about how amazing the dive was. I had zero experience going into the adventure which made me pretty nervous. Michel and Kelly made me feel safe and calmed my nerves with their expertise. Because I was able to relax, I could fully enjoy the dive and admire the beauty of the Caribbean. It was the highlight of my trip to St. Maarten. If you are looking to go on an excursion that will leave you in awe, snuba diving with SNUBA SXM is what you should choose. Michel and Kelly are knowledgeable and know how to have a good time. I am already looking forward to the next time!

Great experience! - What a great experience! Kelly and Michele were fantastic. Patient and kind and very thorough in their explanations and instructions. We had a group of 6, and Kelly took us down 3 at a time. While one group was under the other could either hang out on the boat (completely shaded) or go snorkeling. Kelly stayed with us the whole time checking in and adjusting as needed to keep you comfortable. (The pressure increases as you go deeper so if your ears don’t cooperate, like mine didn’t, then she’ll make sure you stay at a depth where you feel ok but can still enjoy the sights) We saw various fish, coral, sea urchins, sunken helicopter, statues etc… Mask, snorkel, equipment and fins were all included as well as rum punch or water for after the dive. Kelly also took a lot of photos with a GoPro that we purchased afterwards. Highly recommend!

Great experience! - This was a great experience and I highly recommend Kelly and Michel. I was a first timer and they made this very easy and fun. As soon as we jumped in the water, Kelly immediately put me at ease and made sure I was comfortable. We were able to see wildlife, a helicopter and a part of an aircraft which was pretty unforgettable.

An exciting adventure exploring the underwater world! - It has always been a fear of mine to dive below into the sea. So I was pretty nervous to go out Snuba diving for the first time! My friends finally convinced me to go and I can now say I am not afraid anymore! Michel and Kelly were extremely pleasant and informative! Kelly gave us clear instructions and Michel was a fantastic guide. We got to see so many awesome sea creatures and received some really cool photos as well! Would recommend 10/10. I am looking forward to next time!

Awesome shallow scuba adventure! - Wow. Kelly and Michel were excellent team guides. My son was the 'fish' to water - heading into the depths quite naturally and very comfortable with the equipment and process. My spouse also took to the underwater environment quickly. I had more trouble with the mask, breathing under water, etc., but Kelly was awesome at providing tips, trying different masks and being reassuring. The underwater sights were beautiful. Michel's knowledge of the boat, safety protocol and activity was also 'expert'. This was off the beaten path and a highlight of our SXM trip. You should try it!
