Diving and Snorkeling Resources

St Maarten offers excellent snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities with visibility in the water ranging from 100 to 200 feet. The wreck of an English battleship from 1801 lies in Great Bay, and the plentiful coral reefs attract a variety of fish and other sea life. In addition to the listings below, many hotels have dive operators on-site. Certified divers should remember to bring their licenses and diving logs.
