“Incredible experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2012

This was by far the best shore excursion that we did out of all 3 cruises we have been on! It is an amazing experience no one who loves the sea should miss. More

“If you do 1 thing while in St. Maartens--this should be it.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2012

What an experience. I can't even explain how great this was. You are walking 20 ft down on the sea bottom with the fish swimming around you. The staff is knowledgable and makes you feel completely safe and comfortable. This was the best thing we did on what was one of our best vacations. DO IT DO IT DO IT. More

“Fun but not quite enough”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2012

We visited Sea Trek as a shore excursion on our recent cruise. While the idea of helmut diving sounded like alot of fun, I was disappointed by a couple of things. First, the water was very cloudy on the day we went, so visibility was not good at all. Secondly, the area in which you "dive" is only about 60... More

St. Maarten was the last stop in our honeymoon cruise, and my husband and I were excited to experience the Sea Trek. We had such an amazing time exploring the beauty of the sea and going along the ship wreck. The staff was very friendly and informative, which made us feel comfortable. We were able to touch some of the... More

“Simply Awesome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2012

To say the staff and experience was amazing would be a gross understatement. My wife has always been afraid of deep water but thanks to the staff explaining every detail to the group before anyone entering the water she had a great time. They even explained how they have floats to help support some of the weight of the helmets... More

My wife can't swim. This was perfect, we were walking 25 feet below the surface of the ocean. She saw things that she would never get to see. It was one of the best experiences of her life, according to her. I had a great time also. It was great the way these guys take care of you. They make... More
