We loved our experience with Mitch and Kelly.

Amazing experience
Kelly and Mitch were amazing and truly made us feel like life long friends. We can’t wait to come back and see them again.
Unique one of a kind diving opportunity
Snub Diving was a unique experience that allowed us to experience the magic of Scuba Diving without requiring the experience usually required to do it
The Highlight of St Maarten
Kelly and Mich are extremely friendly, warm and hospitable hosts who are both knowledgeable and welcoming to anyone interested in the Snuba experience. Whether you are a beginner or an expert Scuba diver, you are guaranteed to enjoy your time with these guys. The sites and wildlife underwater are captivating and memorable - this experience was definitely a highlight of my time on the island!
Amazing!
Great experience for the siding if you want to go and get a scuba certification if you’re unsure. We got to enjoy snorkeling and relaxing in the water before diving and had such a great time underwater.
Amazing and well worth the experience!
The guides were super friendly, safe, and made the entire experience fun! Great for first time divers and even seasoned divers. Guides showed us around wrecks, statues, multitude of aquatic life.
We book a custom trip with a full boat in June 2026 and had an amazing time!
We book a custom trip with a full boat in June 2026 and had an amazing time! Mich & Kelly were fantastic! They explained everything extremely well, made everyone feel comfortable, and took extra time with those that were a little unsure and needed reassuring. Our trip exceeded expectations and we will certainly be going again the next time we are in St. Maarten! Highly recommend this adventure.
Fantastic!
Outstanding experience! Michel and Kelly were fantastic. Highly recommend!
Incredible experience
What an incredible experience! Our guides, Michel and Kelly, delivered exceptional guidance, patiently walking us through every step, from gear operation to the adventure's progression. Their dedication to our comfort and understanding was truly empowering. They even captured stunning photos of us with the marine life. Their warm and personable nature made us feel like we'd known them for years. This unforgettable experience was undoubtedly a highlight of our trip, leaving us with cherished memories!
Great SNUBA experience in Sint Maartin
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. I have a friend who did a SNUBA experience years ago and it sounded like a great concept. We have both snorkeled in the past, but are not Scuba divers. I was quite a bit more anxious going into the water than I anticipated I would be. Kelly was right there to assist me and calm me down. Both Kelly and Michal are experienced, safety conscious, professional and friendly. We highly recommend this trip. We saw some amazing fish!
I have snorkeled several times but none of those trips could compare to this experience.
I have snorkeled several times but none of those trips could compare to this experience. The underwater walk and the sea life were breathtaking. The staff were very helpful and made me feel safe and comfortable. I would definitely go again.
Great communication, training, supplies, and roomy comfortable shaded boat.
Great communication, training, supplies, and roomy comfortable shaded boat. Location could have been better due to cloudy water but that was the weather, not their fault. It is a safe location where no one can go too deep or get lost. Im a 64 year old female who hadn't done this in 20 years. They made it great! I will go again!
Our guides made us feel like family.
Our guides made us feel like family. Our 13 year old granddaughter said this was the highlight of her trip. My husband and I have done this trip many times and felt very safe. Only go if the day is sunny and beautiful. Hard to predict, I know. This is a very Family Friendly trip.
Fantastic adventure!
Fantastic adventure! Michael and Kelly are amazing hosts. We booked for a group outing and even though we were the only 2 divers that day, Michael and Kelly took us out and treated us like VIPs. Their expertise and genuine kindness made the outing truly memorable!
Loved this experience and highly recommend
This experience is perfect for anybody that wants to explore underwater without having to carry their own tank on their back and needing scuba experience , it uses one big tank on a dinghy with tubes to your breathing apparaus . I felt safe the whole time , the instructor is watching all the time for your ok signals and was very attentive . You get some instructions and training before you go underwater , highly recommend
Amazing Experience!
We had an amazing experience with our friends and family on a SNUBA adventure in St. Maarten. We booked a full boat and had a wonderful time. Mich & Kelly are so great and made the day even better than expected. This was our first SNUBA experience and it was easy to learn. Kelly was in the water with us leading us and really took her time with a couple that were nervous at first until they got comfortable with it. When we go back to St. Maarten, this will definitely be on our list of things to do. I highly recommend doing this SNUBA adventure, you won’t regret it!
We had our SNUBA tour while on vacation in SXM with my husband and my in-laws.
We had our SNUBA tour while on vacation in SXM with my husband and my in-laws. We wanted to go diving but without being certified, because my husband and I already had some diving experience but my parents in-law had none. The tour was very enjoyable and safe even for older people and families with young children.
They also served us delicious rum punch after the dive😀
My wife and I went on an amazing Snuba tour.
My wife and I went on an amazing Snuba tour. We experienced a "once in a lifetime" experience with the underwater wildlife. I highly recommend.

Snuba SXM was so fun!!! We felt very safe with Kelly and Michel. Even the rum punch was good after the amazing snuba tour. I would recommend to anyone!!
We took a private tour with Mich and Kelly for my son's 11th birthday.
We took a private tour with Mich and Kelly for my son's 11th birthday. It was the Best birthday gift ever for my son!
We had the entire tour for just the four of us(my wife, my son, my 8 year old daughter and myself).
The dive site is a short boat ride from Great Bay and the trip is very nice and smooth. Mich is a great guy and a very professional SNUBA guide, it turned out he was also highest level of SCUBA instructor(Course Director). He gave us the safety briefing and soon after we were in the water. It was my son and I who did the SNUBA dive and my wife and daughter snorkeled along with us.
The dive was amazing, the water was clear and we saw lots of colorful fish, a helicopter and a few other wrecks underwater. Kelly was also diving with us and she took more than 200 pictures, that were sent to us soon after the trip😀
What an amazing trip, we could dive as deep as 20 feet without the need to be certified and carry a scuba tank on your back. I am a drivemaster myself and I absolutely enjoyed it, I would recommend it even to people that are certified divers, but also to people who are not experienced at all!
Fantastic on everything
Fantastic day with great people. Amazing dives and how nice are the people taking us to some great spots. And even if you are scared under water. With Michel and Kelly i could go 40 meters and still feel safe. Thanks a lot folks. Will come back for sure!

My son and I did a dive with Snuba SXM. We have done this every year during our trips to St. Maarten for several years. They are amazing! True professionals with a gift for hospitality helping people have a great experience. Above all they are extremely safety conscious. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Our family had a marvelous trip with Snuba . The operators are knowledgeable, helpful and professional. We had a great time exploring underwater treasures. Highly recommend for your next visit
Vacation experience of a lifetime!!
I am an seasoned scuba diver travelling with my sister who was new to the underwater world. She was nervous about diving, but agreed to try Snuba SXM. Wow was she ever happy she did! We saw gorgeous reef with stunning fish, a fascinating helicopter wreck, and had a "sister adventure" that we still talk about today. She was captivated and wanted to go again the next day! Even for someone like myself who has been diving for years, it was a stand-out experience-of-a-lifetime. Kelly (our 'divemistress' as we dubbed her) made sure we had gorgeous photos together, one of which is now framed on my sister's dresser.
The staff were professional (shout-out to our Captain and Master Diver Michel) and very friendly, while safety-conscious. We were treated like old friends, not customers!
The owners were amazing! Very helpful on explaining how snuba works. And stayed with me till I was comfortable.
Day snuba adventure excursion.
Recommended experience - Snorkel Along with SNUBA
I had rather gone under the water, but I freaked out. Luky I could snorkel along my wife Beate, who is more adventurous than me. Thank you for your kindness, Michael and Kelly. See you next year

We recently visited Mich and Kelly for a SNUBA experience and we can’t say enough good things! It was just the four of us, and the attention we received was top notch. It was the first SNUBA experience for our girls (8 and 11), and they were patient with them and made sure they had a great time. This trip far exceeded our previous SNUBA experience. We will be back!
My husband and I are both certified divers but this year we tried SNUBA for the first time. It was so much fun! Kelly and Michel were amazing, especially helping two friends get past their anxiousness and comfortable enough to join us underwater. If anyone comes to St. Maarten, SNUBA SXM is a must do!
Michel and Kelly are the absolute best. An extremely fun and awesome afternoon on the water. They don’t overload their boat, so small groups get a better experience. They were very patient with those of us who were less experienced. Give them a try—you won’t be disappointed.
Michel and Kelly were consummate professionals. I had never done anything like this, but they made the experience absolutely perfect. We did many activities during the trip, but this was without a doubt the best. I recommend it unreservedly.
Absolutely amazing day with Mich and Kelly! The location, variety of fish, and all-around awesomeness of our guides made this the best SNUBA experience we had. Highly recommended.
