Water sports and diving through St. Peter's Maarten's crystal clear water

Looking for an adventurous and sporty way to explore the coastline of St.
Maarten?
Go kayaking or supping along rocky cliffs, small coves and snow-white sandy beaches where the palms wave at you.
The sheltered Simpson Bay Lagoon is a perfect spot for beginners and for those who want to paddle in peace and see sea turtles up close.
If you’re looking for more of a physical challenge, head to Simpson Bay Beach and Pinel Island where the waves and currents require a little more effort from you. The trade winds on St.
Maarten offer the perfect conditions for sailing sports.
It is not for nothing that major international sailing competitions are held here, such as the Heineken Regatta.
Simpson Bay and Great Bay are the most popular bays for sailing.
Rent a boat, a catamaran or, even more fun, take part in a sailing race.
Favorite spots are Orient Bay, Nettle Bay and Galion Beach where you can enjoy the paradisiacal landscapes of the bounty island while surfing. St. Maarten has numerous dive sites for all levels of snorkelers and divers, from calm and shallow water to spots with strong currents.
The calm waters at Mullet Bay are an ideal spot for beginner divers and snorkelers.
The vibrant coral is teeming with parrotfish, trumpetfish and butterflyfish.
If you’re an experienced diver, go wreck diving at Proselyte Reef on the HMS Proselyte, a warship that sank to the bottom in 1801. Recently, the island has been offering even more adventure and water fun, with the opening of a brand new snorkeling attraction, Under SXM.
This special eco-experience in Little Bay consists of more than 300 beautiful artificial reef sculptures placed along a special route and are a living celebration of St. Peter’s past, present and future.
Maarten.
The sculptures are inspired by inhabitants of the island and tell the story of St. Peter’s.
Maarten to life through a series of different galleries, each paying homage to the island’s rich history and culture.
In addition to celebrating the island’s heritage, these sculptures play a crucial role in creating a protected habitat for marine animals. The Under SXM sculptures are made from eco-friendly, pH-neutral materials and feature a range of custom-made living spaces.
The sculptures fit perfectly into the marine ecosystem and contribute to its enhancement.
The structures provide a passive substrate for corals, sea sponges, and biomass to establish and develop, while the internal cavities provide a refuge where juvenile fish can thrive.
