Explore the underwater world with SXM Divers

We are a PADI Dive Centre based on the beautiful island of Sint Maarten, offering private, small-group diving experiences with a strong focus on marine conservation. By limiting our trips to a maximum of six divers, we provide a more personal experience while reducing our impact on the surrounding marine environment.

Our customized dive trips are tailored to your interests, whether you're exploring coral reefs, diving historic wrecks, or observing marine life up close. We also offer a range of PADI courses, from beginner to professional levels, designed to help you grow your skills and confidence in the water.

Respect for the ocean and its inhabitants is central to everything we do. We actively support scientific research, particularly in the protection of sharks and other key species, and take part in initiatives aimed at preserving marine ecosystems. Our mission is to offer memorable dives while actively contributing to the protection of the ocean.

Double tank trips for small groups (max. 6 divers) to the best dive sites on the island where you can encounter schools of fish, sharks, turtles, stingrays, and much more! We are flexible and provide maximum comfort

COMING SOON! Meet Caribbean reef and nurse sharks at a safe 55ft sandy site in Sint Maarten’s waters! Kneel and watch these icons swim close—eagle rays, tiger sharks, and great hammerheads may surprise us too.

The shallow and diverse dive sites of St Maarten provide the perfect training ground for new divers. As a PADI Dive Center, we have experienced instructors who can teach a variety of scuba diving courses and specialties.

Join a Shark tagging expedition

When we are not diving with sharks, we work with our partners at the One Shark Project to conduct regular shark tagging expeditions. The goal of the project is to increase our scientific knowledge about tiger sharks in the Caribbean region, and we have devised effective nonlethal fishing techniques to exclusively target these apex predators. Once caught, we record the length and sex of the animal, take DNA samples for our growing database, and tag the shark before its release.

We are now offering our clients the opportunity to become citizen scientists and contribute to shark conservation in SXM by joining the team for a full day of shark tagging!
