About Ocean Explorers
At Ocean Explorers, we believe the right dive center is what turns an okay trip into an extraordinary one — and we're here to show you the best diving that Sint Maarten has to offer. As a PADI 5 Star Dive Center with 9 PADI Instructors on the team, we run a small, friendly operation built around genuine VIP service.
Personal attention, better diving
We deliberately keep the number of divers on the boat low, so everyone gets real attention in the water. On land, an onsite training pool and classroom make learning comfortable, whether you're starting out or fine-tuning your skills, with air fills, scuba equipment rental and PADI Scuba Diving all offered on site.
Our instructors speak English, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese, so international divers feel right at home. With parking, food and drinks, and a dedicated dive boat, Ocean Explorers suits divers who want a personal, well-run experience exploring the waters of Sint Maarten.

★ 5 · Joan Comer · 2012-11-14I wish I needed to do the referral dives all over again, they were so enjoyable! From the organized reservation process to handling the paperwork to explaining each dive, I was very well taken-care-of. All the staff were patient, friendly, and professional. The 4 dive sites each offered different conditions, coral and fish. None was very far from Simpson Bay - just short trips out from the dive shop. I can't see how any aspect of the dives could be improved, and I hope I can convince my husband we need another trip to St Maarten to dive with Ocean Explorers again.
★ 5 · RobandAnne Quivey · 2012-10-21We have enjoyed diving with Ocean Explorers for 5 summers. We started with them literally the day after we got our scuba certification. The one to one attention underwater has taught us so much about becoming better, safer, and more aware divers. Jef has taught how to locate the many "hidden" creatures underwater. It was personally thrilling this summer when I was able to find tiny shrimp, sea slugs, and blemmies by myself. We took our Advanced Open Water this summer. Their shark dives are educational and interesting- definitely something to try at least once. Night dives are our favorite. The animals are different and there is such a sense of beauty and serenity at night. We saw more sea turtles than we could count and the bioluminescence is enchanting. My husband and I know we have been spoiled by Jef, Luciana and their crew. WE can't wait until we can return!
★ 5 · Gabriela Gentili · 2012-06-08My husband and I took the Open water Diver course a few days ago with Ocean Explorer ( San Maarten). It was an amazing experience. The whole staff is really polite and patient, always willing to help every one of the customers. The dives were great, always in different places. I highly recommend it. When we come back to San Maarten, we will not hesitate in choosing Ocean Explorer for our diving adventures!
