join a Shark tagging expedition

When we are not diving with sharks, we work with our partners at the One Shark Project to conduct regular shark tagging expeditions in SXM. The goal of the project is to increase our scientific knowledge about tiger sharks in Saint Martin, and we have devised effective non lethal fishing techniques to exclusively target these apex predators. Once caught, we record the length and sex of the animal, take DNA samples for our growing database, and tag the shark before its release.

We are now offering our clients the opportunity to become citizen scientists and contribute to shark conservation in SXM by joining the team team for a full day of shark tagging!

A highlight of diving in the Man of War Shoal marine park is encounters with spotted eagle rays. They can be skittish and don't always like to get close to scuba divers, but if you give them space and let them approach you instead of chasing them, yo
