At the Scuba Shop SXM we like to have an unhurried schedule and a max of 8 divers on the boat (with a ratio of 4 divers per guide), and a few other little touches, which does make us more expensive.
We offer flexible scheduling and can tailor a dive trip as well as PADI scuba courses to your needs.






At The Scuba Shop, our mission is to make diving in St. Maarten accessible, enjoyable, and unforgettable for every visitor. From diving with us at The Scuba Shop SXM aboard the Mermaid's Tale, or helping you select a different dive shop, we ensure your dive experience is tailored to your needs. The island’s waters are rich with sharks, turtles, rays, and vibrant reefs, offering something new on every dive. Whether you want to try scuba for the first time, complete a PADI course, or add a conservation element to your dives, we provide the resources, instruction, and guidance to make it happen. With options ranging from quick single-tank dives to advanced specialty training, every diver can find the perfect fit.
