dive center

 

Our dive center is in a private building by the sea located in Cole Bay, the heart of Sint Maarten. There is access by car and by boat and lots of parking spaces!

We worked hard to build a new, modern, and minimalistic dive shop to help you focus on your diving experience and make it as enjoyable as possible. We stock famous scuba brands such as Scubapro, Prawno Apparel, Roland St John and also sell prints and posters of the island and its marine life. We have a library full of awesome ocean books that you are welcome to read while on site. We also offer soft drinks, snacks, as well as the best coffee on the island, and cold beers for after the dives too, of course!

In total, we have three separate units in the same building. Unit one was originally an office that we have now converted to a modern and fully equipped retail space that serves as our dive shop. Unit two is next-door to unit one and serves as our storage area and stock room, and unit three is a purpose-built room on the dock that we constructed with the landlord's assistance to house our new compressor and scuba tanks.

Feel free to pass by anytime to check out what we have to offer and don’t forget to purchase your SXM Divers merchandise after the dive. We have air conditioning and comfortable seating so if you want to spend some time in the shop we are happy to host you. We also have a private garden area with plenty of shade that provides the perfect spot for an after-dive beer and snack.

Every guest will get a locker before diving, meaning you can leave your non-essential items at the dive shop safe knowing they are safe until your return. We also have a freshwater shower and male and female bathrooms to get changed before and after the dives. If you are lucky, you may get to meet our mascot and shop security, Blacky. He loves to meet new people and get belly rubs.
