02/10 : fantastic weather for this week! this week we've 20 young people for discover scuba diving from the CREPS(regional central for physical and education sport); a lot of young people from the island don't know Saint-Martin underwater but also the opportunity to be an instructor!! on the picture some of them with Cécile their manager!!

the great weather is back!! the last week of january was catastrophic for the weather!! strong wind, big waves, swell, less 10 ft for the visibility, a true washing machine!! we took the decision to cancel all the dives and snorkeling for the week! quality and honesty are our device!!

January 2010

No comment!! too much time, and too long story to explain our silence on the news!! but a lot of news, the same team from the last summer, still Laurent and Jérémy for the instructors and sometimes Fabien, but actually he's so busy with our company for underwater work, SXM COMMERCIAL DIVERS! so from the begining of the year, we've a really good weather, sea so warm,81°, so quiet and without wind!! still so many things to see, however ours instructors saw in some dive sites poaching species of animals !! we go all time in a natural marine park, and normally guarded!! unfortunately we're powerless in front of this incivility from the poachers and the restaurants which buy them their fishing!!!!
