There are many different dive sites located on

the Dutch side of the island from which your

Dive Master will choose. The choice will be

based on the best conditions for visibility, water

current and wind directions for the day. Dive

sites may include the Fish Bowl, the Maze, HMS

Proselyte Reef, Shark Hotel, the Carib Ghost,

the Gregory, the Bridge and Cable Reef. Diving

in this area is known for the close encounters

with many different species of big marine life,

including Caribbean reef sharks, nurse sharks,

hawksbill and green turtles, stingrays and

spotted eagle rays, as well as dolphins on rare

occasions. The sites are located on the Dutch

side of the island, opposite to where the Wind

Surf will be anchored in Marigot. You will

tender ashore where ground transportation will

meet you to to drive you to Philipsburg. Upon

arrival at the dive shop, board the dive boat and

proceed 10-20 minutes to the dive sites. At the

site you will descend down a mooring line onto

the top of the reef that sits in 40 to 70 feet of

water. There are always friendly yellow striped

snapper waiting on the surface to greet you.

The bottom of the reefs here average around

55 feet with the maximum depth of any dive

being no more than 75 feet. The dive sites have

many different varieties of hard and soft coral,

as well as unique formations and swim-throughs

on each dive site. Almost every conceivable type

of reef fish can be found here—even the more

rare species such as sea horses and frogfish can

be located from time to time. Between dives

you will remain on the dive boat for the surface

interval as you relocate to the second dive site.

After the second dive, return to Philipsburg for

transfer back to the tender pier in Marigot.

Please note: The sea conditions in St. Martin

can be choppy. A 2- to 4-foot chop is normal

here. There will not be a return to shore

between dives. You will be on the boat for three

hours before returning to the dive shop. Those

susceptible to sea sickness must take this into

keep an eye out for moray eels and octopus,

which are often found here. You can also

spot juvenile hawksbill and green turtles and

southern stingrays which are regular visitors

to the area. If you are lucky you may also

see the spectacular spotted eagle rays which

occasionally coast across the bay. A variety of

artificial wrecks placed in the bay attract many

fish species to congregate. Don’t forget to look

under the ledges and through the port holes to

spot the large porcupine fish and trumpet fish

that like to hide in the recesses.

Please note: Maximum number of beginner

divers to instructors ratio is 4:1. Wear your

swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel.

A PADI-qualified boat takes you on a leisurely

cruise along the west coast of St. Lucia,

passing a few resorts and fishing villages

before arriving at your destination for diving.

The gardens of coral in the Soufriere Marine

Reserve, which spans an area from Marigot

Bay down to the Pitons, offer a wonderful

array of fish, including snapper, surgeon,

parrotfish, tigerfish and more. This will be

an exciting treat for all divers. After your first

dive, return to the boat for refreshments and

a light snack before heading out for a second

dive—either a wreck, wall or reef dive.
