The MOST Amazing Experience - Mitch and Kelly were amazing. So passionate about the experience. so accommodating to New divers. And able to at the same time accommodate an experienced diver. Equipment was top notch. The dive site was extremely pleasing. And you can feel safe with the amount of diving experience that both Mitch and Kelly have. Looking forward to returning soon.

Unforgettable Snuba Experience with Mitch & Kelly! - I had an absolutely incredible time on the snuba tour with Mitch & Kelly! As someone who can't swim, I was definitely nervous at first—but they made the entire experience feel safe, fun, and completely unforgettable. Their care, guidance, and clear instructions gave me the confidence to truly enjoy the adventure. Thanks to them, I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will always treasure. We got to feed the fish and explore an amazing variety of underwater sights—something I never thought I’d get to do. Mitch & Kelly were not only professional, but also warm, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about what they do. If you're even considering trying snuba, do it and make sure it's with Mitch & Kelly. You won’t regret it! Let me know if you want to tailor it for Google, TripAdvisor, or another specific platform.

If you are interested in... - If you are interested in Scuba but don't want to worry about the Oxygen tank, SNUBA is a great start. Still get the introductory depth but don't have to carry the weight. Kelly and Michel are great. Our tour ran a little long due to some equipment malfunction however it was very minimal and still got to enjoy some snorkeling on the side.

Great for family activity - Fun, exciting and adventurous… My wife is terrified of the “deep ocean waters”, but she was made at ease and she participated with little hesitation. We had a great time on this tour and the cocktails were tasty. We highly recommend this activity to those not ready for the full SCUBA experience and bored of the basic snorkel by doing a bit of both sides. A must do during your visit. A+++++

Don't skip this one! - Do NOT miss out on this excursion! Kelly and Mich (michelle) are truly passionate professionals. They treated my family like their family. She's a marine biologist with a resume (CV) you could only dream of and he speaks 5 languages and is a certified dive instructor with 40k dives. As a mother, I had ZERO issues trusting him with my childrens' safety. They made sure we had the best experience & my kids will never forget it (14, 12, 10). They also Tailor to experience level & truly just want each participant to have the best time. We had a participant in our group that had claustrophobia & they tailored his experience to what he would enjoy best. If we're ever here again, we'll definitely come back through.

Well worth it- book now! - My husband and I just did a tour and it was the best anniversary experience we’ve had thus far! My husband is not a fan of the ocean and after years of asking him to SNUBA, he finally gave in. The instructors are husband and wife with many, many, years of experience and it truly shows! They were very informative and took the time to explain everything to my husband to ensure comfort! We also always had an instructor nearby while in the water which gives peace of mind. They also took many photos for us, just in case, and the price was reasonable and well worth it! If you’re thinking about it- do it!!!

Highlight of our trip! - My husband, teenage boys, and myself had the best time. Kelly and her partner were amazing and patient. Very well planned and organized. I highly recommend this if you think you might be interested in scuba. I stayed closer to the surface and Kelly was great to check on me through the excursion. Great location for pickup as well!

My Snuba Experience with SNUBA SXM - I would highly recommend SNUBA SXM. I had an incredible experience diving with Michel and Kelly and I can’t say enough about how amazing the dive was. I had zero experience going into the adventure which made me pretty nervous. Michel and Kelly made me feel safe and calmed my nerves with their expertise. Because I was able to relax, I could fully enjoy the dive and admire the beauty of the Caribbean. It was the highlight of my trip to St. Maarten. If you are looking to go on an excursion that will leave you in awe, snuba diving with SNUBA SXM is what you should choose. Michel and Kelly are knowledgeable and know how to have a good time. I am already looking forward to the next time!
