The magnificence of our dive sites is no secret to those who have seen them, but they tend to keep it to themselves, for fear of having to share their secret domain. Most spots are absolutely gorgeous coral reefs covered with multicoloured sponges and soft corals, labyrinthine rock outcrops which serve both as first-rate havens and rich hunting grounds for the multitude of brightly colored tropical fish which inhabit them: every kind of angelfish, so graceful in shape and motion, stingrays and eagle rays, whose easy, relaxed movements are so deceptive that any diver, fooled into thinking he can catch up with them, will soon find himself out of breath… schools of jacks suddenly appearing cloudlike out of the blue, and darkening the environment, only to disappear just as quickly, drawn away by another sight, parrotfish, constantly gathering pieces of coral, which they chew in their powerful jaws, then evacuate in the form of sand.

Occasionally, with a bit of luck, you will be escorted by a large, curious, green or hawkbill turtle, which will follow you all through your dive, apparently happy to have found a travelling companion.
All of this is Saint Martin’s well kept secret, which is fairly easy to discover, though, thanks to our well-equipped dive centers which will be happy to welcome beginners wishing to become certified as well as advanced divers in search of adventure.
Sea-beds : Warning: it is important to know that the sea-beds of St-Martin are part of the natural reserve, it is your duty as a good citizen of the world to respect the ecosystem.
