Perfect underwater experience for newbies - Having never dived before (other than once years ago doing a helmet dive walk) this was a perfect experience. Michel and Kelly were perfect guides and tour operators. A great experience and a must for newbies who might be afraid of scuba or the dangers of going underwater! In fact, I found it easier than snorkeling (as the air flows at the right pressure all the time) Here are some more of the details: We parked (nearby so no problem with that) and were met by Kelly and Michel in front of the pier in Great Bay. We then got onto their boat (actually a converted lifeboat, but I would never have known that as it looks like a small ferry or something similar) and there was more than enough space to relax for the 9 minute ride to the diving location in Little Bay. Once we were moored at the diving spot, Michel went through how to dive, tips and tricks, safety reminders and answered any questions we had. He was very thorough yet not over the top that you could not remember everything. Then on to the fun diving and Kelly kitted everyone out with weights (to help you sink slowly into the water) and off we went for almost 45 minutes. Kelly swims with you in her full scuba equipment making sure you are comfortable and showing you things she knows are out there. We saw a sunken helicopter, submarine, many types of fish and ………… While I am not a doctor and nothing here is medical advice, I was concerned as I have high blood pressure, but given the maximum depth is 20ft, I understand your risk is not significant. I felt comfortable at all times and enjoyed the full time underwater. Once you are done, Michel welcomes you back to a drink onboard and then back to the port. All in all a great enjoyable. Well work doing even if you only do it once! I enjoyed it and I don’t say that too often.😊

What an AMAZING experience! - We booked this excursion prior to arriving in St. Martin and it was everything we had hoped for. Kelly and Michel are excellent guides and super friendly. I was nervous to go under the water but I enjoyed snorkelling in Little Bay while hubby and bff enjoyed every second of exploring the helicopter and all the things the under water world offers. They explain everything very thoroughly and answer any question you may have. I had PLENTY. For anyone looking to something different for an excursion, trust Kelly and Michel to show you the way. I would highly recommend this to everyone.

DON’T MISS THIS EXPERIENCE! - Mich and Kelly do a wonderful job of explaining everything you need to know to have a safe and enjoyable SNUBA adventure. We had a fantastic time exploring the underwater world in St. Maarten with them! The groups are small so you get a more personal experience than most other tours. I HIGHLY recommend SNUBA SXM!!

AMAZING...... - AMAZING...... From the communication, the service, and the Snuba experience it was fantastic. Kelly and Mich. run a great tour. We went out on the boat with family and friends. Cant say enough about how patient Kelly was with all the first timers as the whole breathe under water part sounds counter-intuitive :). In just a short time everyone was under water exploring the fish life and some really cool artifacts. The smiles on the kids faces said it all (besides the comments of wanting to come back the next day and do it all over again) Kelly also took some amazing photos underwater which for me was the cherry on top as I am usually never in pictures because I am the one taking them. So cant thank you enough. This is a MUST DO when visiting the island. Matt, family and friends.......
