The Scuba Shop's Guide to Scuba Diving from Your Yacht
in the waters of St. Maarten / St. Martin and the surrounding islands!

This guide describes some excellent scuba diving sites that are easily and safely accessible from your charter or private yacht - sail or power. All of the yacht anchorages shown in this guide are approved by the major yacht charter companies and will be discussed more fully during the chart briefing given by your charter company.

For non-divers and for the time between dives, the yacht anchorages described are well protected and comfortable in good to moderate trade wind conditions. Most of them have magnificent beaches, many have beach bars and other watersports activities. Many of the scuba diving sites are ideal for snorkelers who can explore the shallower reef areas.
