Friendly Island Divers

Amazing experience with this diving school! The team was professional and welcoming, and everything was very well organized. 🤿 A special thanks to instructor Natalie, who was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive. I was quite nervous at first, but she helped me overcome my fears and made me feel safe and confident in the water. Highly recommend! 🌊✨

We had the absolute BEST dive day with Friendly Island Dive Shop. Truly the highlight of all our Caribbean dives this trip. …

I cannot say enough good things about Friendly Island Divers, especially Natalie and Dagmar! I wanted to dive while on a cruise that stopped in Sint Maarten but I only had a small window within to schedule a dive. Natalie was so accommodating and organized a shore dive at Little Bay for the time I had available. The shop was only a 5 minute walk from the Cruise port terminal and they waited on me as I was later than planned. They had everything ready to go when I arrived and were so helpful and friendly. Dagmar was my divemaster and she was excellent. She pointed out so many creatures I would have missed and I don't think I have ever been on a dive where we saw so many different kinds of sea life! She was great at navigating to the best spots where we saw a helicopter, a submarine, a truck chassis and got to swim thru a plane fuselage! I saw lobster, sting rays, shrimp, moray eels, barracuda, drum fish, octopi, puffer fish, lion fish, parrot fish, spider crab, darter fish and so many more I cannot name them all! Great staff all; Natalie, Dagmar, Tom and Seitse! Great dive masters, great instructors, so knowledgeable and so close to the cruise terminal. Natalie took video and pictures of the entire dive so I didn't have to worry about using my own camera - so convenient and excellent images! They even gave me a ride back to the cruise terminal, even though it was an easy walk. I will definitely be diving with this excellent dive company on my next trip to Sint Maarten! ps. Fish was such a great puppy, too!
