Did my first ocean dives with Octopus...came highly recommended. Sally, Stu and Steve were great and reassured us in our initial dives. The sites we went to were out of this world! More

I really enjoyed diving with them. The small group was my favorite part! They are very helpful no matter how experienced you are with diving. I really appreciated their enthusiasm and knowledge. More

Diving was wonderful! The staff was very friendly, the sites we visited were great, the gear was brand new. Even though the weather was not great on the surface, underwater it was perfect! More

We spent the week with Octopus Diving. This was my 5th year in a row diving with them. They were over-the-top profesional, fun and they took care of us like crazy. We saw tons of fish, including dolphins, eagle rays, lion fish, angel fish, lobsters, eels, turtles, and more. Thumbs up again this year. More

My first time underwater, I was BAD. The team did a great job introducing me to a wonderful sport in a new environment and patience allowing me to acclimate to the conditions. They gave me the personal attention to establish my confidence underwater and enjoy what I was doing. If you visit, make sure to talk to Roger & Billy... More

Make sure you read the other reviews of this business as they are spot on accurate. Have dove twice now on two separate occasions with Chris and Sally and have been very happy both times. As a relatively novice diver they have taken care of my needs and concerns. On my last dive I paid extra to have Chris as... More

Thanks you for reviewing Octopus Diving. I had an awesome time diving with you again last week and for an extra $100 it's well worth getting a Private Guide for a 2 tank dive, we love what we do and it really shows. The Tug Boat and Turtle Reef were beautiful and so much Marine life - we never get... More

My wife and I spent the last two weeks in St.Martin, with Octopus Diving and it was a marvelous experience. Everything as promised, and then some. Sally, Chris and their dive team of Stuart, Irish Steve and English Steve (sorry fellows, didn't get your last names), were the epitome of dive professionals. Our experience began on arrival, as we drove... More

My son and I just returned from a week in St. Martin. We dove four days with Octopus Divers in Grand Case and thoroughly enjoyed each and every dive. Chris and Sally own and operate the dive shop and run a safe and enjoyable operation. Both Chris and Sally, as well as the rest of the staff are very accomodating... More

We LOVED Octopus Diving! Sally and Chris run an amazing operation. We were there to do referral dives and receive our open water certification. Steve our instructor was perfect. I had some challenges that he was easily able to help me overcome. He was very professional and we felt completely comfortable and safe knowing we were in good hands. All... More

We did not have high expectations for St. Martin diving and were pleasantly surprised. Sally was responsive and friendly to advance email inquiries. My husband and I took our own gear except for BC's and their rental BCs were in fine condition. Other rental gear also appeared to be in excellent condition. After signing in with Sally, Stuart met us... More
