First time doing SNUBA and it was so enjoyable. Kelly and Mitch did a phenomenal job of putting us at ease and ensured our time in the water was safe and fun. We also were able to free snorkel and saw a lot of interesting sea life. We will definitely do this next time we are in St Maarten.

Incredible multi-generational experience! The hosts were phenomenal, managing our diverse group of ages 9 to 74 with patience and expertise. They made our nervous swimmers feel totally safe, ensuring both the kids and seniors had a blast exploring under water, fish, a sunkin helicopter and sub, at their own pace. Kelly and Michel were fantastic, taking the time to explain everything clearly for beginners. They went at our own pace, ensuring everyone was comfortable before moving into deeper waters. They went well beyond what was expected to make the experience fun for all.

Hi Juan. You came a long way during this tour. We are super excited for you! When you come visit SXM again, we hope to see you for more :) Warmest regards, Mich & Kelly

Kelly and Mitch were amazing! I’m a first timer and they made me feel very comfortable under the water. I would highly recommend for people that are just starting out! It’s a must do tour when you are in the island!

The operators were absolutely driven in their concern for our safety first , and then our enjoyment of the experience a close second. Amazing experience!

One of the best excursions I’ve ever done! Our first time to snuba and I was pretty nervous. Cali was very patient and supportive and that helped me to relax, and enjoy a new experience! We did it and we had a blast! Thank you Cali and Mitch. We had a great time learning how to snuba. You’re never too old to learn something new!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Our pleasure and "That's right!" SNUBA is for young and old. Now you know! Do this again with your whole family :) Warmest regards, Mich & Kelly

Mitch and Kelly were amazing. So passionate about the experience. so accommodating to New divers. And able to at the same time accommodate an experienced diver. Equipment was top notch. The dive site was extremely pleasing. And you can feel safe with the amount of diving experience that both Mitch and Kelly have. Looking forward to returning soon.

I had an absolutely incredible time on the snuba tour with Mitch & Kelly! As someone who can't swim, I was definitely nervous at first—but they made the entire experience feel safe, fun, and completely unforgettable. Their care, guidance, and clear instructions gave me the confidence to truly enjoy the adventure.
Thanks to them, I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will always treasure. We got to feed the fish and explore an amazing variety of underwater sights—something I never thought I’d get to do. Mitch & Kelly were not only professional, but also warm, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
If you're even considering trying snuba, do it and make sure it's with Mitch & Kelly. You won’t regret it!
Let me know if you want to tailor it for Google, TripAdvisor, or another specific platform.

If you are interested in Scuba but don't want to worry about the Oxygen tank, SNUBA is a great start. Still get the introductory depth but don't have to carry the weight. Kelly and Michel are great. Our tour ran a little long due to some equipment malfunction however it was very minimal and still got to enjoy some snorkeling on the side.

Fun, exciting and adventurous… My wife is terrified of the “deep ocean waters”, but she was made at ease and she participated with little hesitation. We had a great time on this tour and the cocktails were tasty. We highly recommend this activity to those not ready for the full SCUBA experience and bored of the basic snorkel by doing a bit of both sides. A must do during your visit. A+++++
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you, Javier. Always great to know our efforts change the life of people for the better. We really appreciate to hear this.

My husband, teenage boys, and myself had the best time. Kelly and her partner were amazing and patient. Very well planned and organized. I highly recommend this if you think you might be interested in scuba. I stayed closer to the surface and Kelly was great to check on me through the excursion. Great location for pickup as well!
Charles_M, Mar 2024
Excellent! Good water conditions. Kelly and Mitch were fantastic and thorough with expert explanations and safety protocol. Outstanding tour for beginners and experienced divers. Kelly and Mitch are dedicated to making sure everyone has a safe, fun experience under water and on deck! Our best experience on-island….Thank you!!
Sabrina_E, Jan 2024
We had the best time ever! Mitch and Kelly are great at making you feel comfortable and happy with whatever you want to enjoy! Cocktails afterwards were especially strong, LOL! We got fantastic pictures and had the best time, would definitely do this again!
Cassie_W, Dec 2023
Absolutely fantastic! It was a dream come true. I was very nervous and Kelly did everything she could to ensure I felt safe and had fun! I can’t recommend this trip enough! What a bonus to be emailed the photos within a couple of days. Thank you so much. Mark, Cassie, Tom & Emily.

Best part of our trip to Saint Martin. Being under the water and seeing All the fish and items on the bottom of the bay was amazing. There was never a time that I didn't feel safe.
Michele_C, Aug 2023
SNUBA experience with Michel and Kelly was AMAZING! They took such great care of all of us. Loved the small excursion group and Michel and Kelly could not have been more welcoming, professional and fun. It was my son’s first SNUBA experience and I could not have asked for better people to trust with his safety! When we left the boat, it felt like we were saying goodbye to friends, not tour guides. We would absolutely do this tour again!!!!!

The experience with my family and the crew was awesome. I highly recommend snuba in sint maarten. It goes beyond five stars in my viewpoint.
Donna_V, Jun 2023
My husband and son loved it. Wish they were staying longer so they could do it again the next day. They had a great time!
Bradley_C, Apr 2023
Snuba is like scuba but without the buoyancy device and air tank. The air comes from a tank on the surface through a tube. This limits the dive depth to 20 ft so no decompression when surfacing. A good location and a great tune up for scuba. Our guide was very attentive and adjusted our weights carefully on the fly. The downside was four people using the same tank raft meaning we were tied to another couple and sometimes diving through a tangle of hoses. Movement was limited by the others and their skill level and comfort with the technique.
Beian_M, Apr 2023
We were on our honeymoon. I am a certified diver but my husband had never been scuba diving so we thought this would be a great start. This was INCREDIBLE! We both absolutely LOVED the experience and the hosts. They were both so friendly and fun. They made you comfortable and they are both extremely knowledgeable! We both highly recommend SNUBA…. Especially from here.
Tatiana_C, Apr 2023
I had one of the amazing experiences in life! In the beginning I was really nervous and not so sure if I could do it. However, Kelly and Mich were so profissional and made me so comfortable and confident that I did it! Snuba with them is definitely an unmissable activity to do in St Marteen!
Liz_S, Mar 2023
Great guide, very patient, very friendly. First timer and in few minutes I felt like a pro. Would definitely recommend to newbies.
George_M, Dec 2022
This was a learning experience for my wife. She has never used a regulator. She was nervous but Kelly helped her relax and enjoy the experience. After five minutes of relaxing and adjusting the weight belt my wife was next to me 20ft below the surface enjoying the fish and sites. Michel was great at explaining the process and has a great sense of humor.
Lisa_D, Dec 2022
We had a fabulous time with Kelly and Michael! It was one of our favorite experiences in St. Martin. Snuba is a nice alternative to Scuba and the time it takes to get certified. And being 15-20 below the sea surrounded by fish is surreal and beautiful. Highly recommend.
josue_t, Dec 2022
Great experience me and my wife were both struggling a little to grasp the whole snuba experience and Both operators were very patient and positive! We were able to be down there see some awesome things and be surrounded by fish!
Aaron_N, Nov 2022
Our guides were marine biologists with many years of teaching people about Snuba and the aquatic creatures we discovered. They modified the tour to our pace. Very friendly and helpful. I would do the same tour again!
Michael_D, Aug 2022
Mich and Kelly are amazing tour guides for a very unique experience! They were amazing and engaging all day, and showed wonderful patience and kindness by helping our 12 year old who was frustrated with the fit of his mask because of a previous injury. We felt more like members of their family than strangers!
The SNUBA itself was very fun, and we got to view a sunken plane, helicopter, and various other interesting artifacts alongside beautiful fish and rock formations. Our boys are 14 and 12, and they all loved it!
No need to fear this experience - we had never done anything like this before, but it was very easy to acclimate to the equipment.
Our family generally likes to try new things on each vacation, but this is one experience we would definitely book again the next time we are in St. Maarten.
Mario_A, Jul 2022
Was great. The staff was very helpful and took good care of us.
Is a wonderful first step to scuba. Thanks
Cherie_S, Jul 2022
I thought this was a great experience for three mid teenage kids to experience what scuba diving is like. The day we picked was perfect the weather was perfect the water clarity was perfect and our host and hostess were very friendly and engaged in making our trip safe and enjoyable!
