Our Scuba Diving Activities:
1. SCUBA DOUBLE TANK DIVE (2 dives)
St. Maarten is a great dive destination. The outlying wreck and reef sites offer fantastic dives and excellent photo opportunities. Waters are warm and inviting, and the marine life is abundant. Moray eels, turtle and southern stingray are common sightings - and frog fish and jaw fish are a treat to find. Dive Adventures was established in 1990 as part of the large water sports and boat activity center that makes up Aqua Mania Adventures. We have 2 departure locations: Simpson Bay and Divi Litttle Bay. Exploring the reefs and wrecks around the island offers a unique experience. The choice of dive site is dependant on weather and sea conditions, departure location, and at the discretion of the dive leader in charge. We do our best to offer everyone a variety of dive sites during the week. ***DIVE CERTIFICATION CARD REQUIRED*** Please arrive on time for the briefing. You need to be in good health to dive.

Our shallow dives are particularly for those who prefer to dive shallow, novice divers and divers who have not dived in a while. Perhaps you wish to accompany a novice diver. One of our popular shallow dive sites has a sunken helicopter. There aren't too many options to dive shallow, so booking multiple shallow dives would mean visiting some of the same spots repeatedly.

5. SCUBA: PADI DIVER COURSE
This is a first level certification – especially for vacationers who are short on time and want to become a certified diver. You need less time than the PADI Open Water Diver course, and results in a limited certification. It covers the first 3 sections of knowledge development (instead of 5), the first 3 pool sessions (instead of 5) and the first 2 open water training dives (instead of 4). An extra dive is built in for the fun of diving. Consider this course if you expect to go scuba diving primarily in the company of a dive guide (which is recommended and typical for novice divers) or if you have limited time to devote to scuba certification.
6. SCUBA: PADI OPEN WATER DIVE COURSE
This is the world's most popular scuba course, and has introduced millions of people all over the world to the adventurous diving lifestyle. If you've always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, discover new adventures and see the underwater world, this is where it starts!
7. SCUBA: PADI ADVANCED DIVE COURSE
This course can be taken after completing the PADI Open Water Diver certification. It is titled PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, because it advances your diving knowledge & skills.You can enroll immediately after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification regardless of your skill level. The course helps you build confidence in navigation, fine-tune buoyancy skills and introduces you to different diving activities such as wreck diving, night diving or underwater imaging. After completing your eLearning, you'll make five Adventure Dives: a deep dive (beyond 18m/60F), a navigation dive, and three additional Adventure Dives of your choice to earn your certification.
8. SCUBA: ENRICHED AIR CERTIFICATION
Get more bottom time!! Scuba diving with enriched air, nitrox, gives you more "no decompression" dive time. So you can spend more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives. That's why it's easy to see why the PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI's most popular specialty scuba diving course. You can stay down longer and get back in the water sooner!! It's just healthier diving and the course is quick and easy.
Cruise Ship recommended dives:
if you are a passenger on one of the cruise ships, select Dock Maarten as your departure location. This location is very close to the cruise ship terminal.
