Trip Report Dive Sint Maarten - St. Maarten

[Wants2divemore]

I dove with AquaMania out of the Divi Little Bay Hotel in June 2022. It was a short (5 min) boat ride from the beach to the dive site. Staff were friendly, boat was good, dive site was okay. We dove right where the Snuba people were so it was kind of fun to swim by them and wave. One of the people in our group had equalization issues so he stayed on thee surface and snorkeled. He said the snorkeling was good.

Thanks for the report. I'm looking at St. Martin just because I haven't been there. It looks like there's a ferry from St Martin to St Eustatius...maybe 4 days on each. Anyone stay at Divi Little Bay on St Martin? I've been to Bonaire (x#3), Curacao, Belize, Grand Cayman and Roatan and always looking for somewhere new.

Divi is a nice resort... we stayed there this past January in an OCEANS 1-BR suite.... built just a year or 2 ago.... very comfortable and "high" end.... food can be pricey compared to off resort quality of food...

I know I'm missing out with Cozumel but I just can't get by with Mexico's corrupt government. Many examples of Custom Agents charging "import tax" on your camera equipment etc. I wonder if they realize how wealthy they could be if they had a safe, stable government. I know others have had great experiences but in my mind, it's a hurdle I can't get by.

If you fly directly into Cozumel you'll have no issues. Lots of expats live there ( I have a few friends). The island is very tourist friendly.
