I was in St. Maarten on Jan 29th on a cruise and dove with Dive Sint Maarten.
Bottom line: Good experience, would use again.
Meeting location: Bobby's Marina, Philipsburg (15 minute walk, 2 minute taxi ride from cruise pier).
Boat: Double Dutch - 12 divers max, covered deck area, no restroom.
Briefing: Covered boat safety equipment and dive plan.
Dive sites dove (they have many different ones, decide which ones to dive the day of):
Carib Cargo: Metal wreck with swim through, some good reefs around with great marine life, 65’ depth
Lucy's Barge: Old wooden wreck so all that's left are some old canons and anchor, great marine life, 55’ depth
Dives: Group dive of 8 divers with 2 guides. No buddies established, just everyone stayed somewhat close together. If someone ran low on air, 1 guide would take that person up while others remained. Water and snacks provided during surface interval.
Comments: Good experience, easy to book with, would use again.
