We have been diving since 1973. From experience, we can say that Dive Adventures has been one of the best organized dive groups that we have dealt with. They were very experienced and professional. They always kept safety in mind. They were very knowledgeable, not only about diving, but also about the local marine environment. Their small dive groups allowed... More

On our first Monday in St. marten, we had a scuba demo in our pool at the Bel Air hotel. Sandra was inviting guests to learn about diving. After a brief chat, she arranged to add me to a discover scuba dive that afternoon. She was very thorough in briefing and led our group out in Divi Little Bay for... More

The staff was very professional, helpful and fun to dive with. Anna, Swanie were great. The dive conditions were good. The area we dived was perfect. The equipment rented was quality gear. The dive boat was clean and plenty of space. The price paid for the 2-tank dive was fair. I would dive with the company and team of employees... More

My husband and I came across Dive Adventures after several communications with other dive shops on the island. Dive Adventures were accommodating from the start. I completed my PADI certification process with Sandra during the first few days of our visit. She was patient, and helped me become more comfortable with diving. We had a great time diving with the... More

Had a great time with Dive Adventures at Simpson Bay, St Maarten-St Martin. Thanks Vinnie, Anna, Damien and Swami. Got to check off a Spotted Eagle Ray from my bucket list! Truly one of the best dive operators I have ever experienced. They are great folks who treat you like royalty and I can't recommend them enough!

I had the most wonderful experience diving in St. Maarten and especially with Anne and Sandra who, in my over 200 dive experiences, deem them to be THE BEST dive instuctors/guides and fun to dive with. Both were very skilled and experienced dive masters who I would dive with again and again. Excellent diving personalities, very people-oriented; calming at all... More
