Definitively St Maarten's most
spectacular dive!!!
Dive Safaris has been successfully
feeding the sharks around St Maarten since 1998. This afternoon
single tank dive takes place twice a week.
During this dive, you will have the chance to see 15 to 30 sharks
being fed by our professional feeders. Most of the sharks attending
the feeding are Caribbean Reef Sharks and Sharp Nose sharks ranging
from 3 to 8 feet in length.
The dive lasts around 30-40min. and
the depth of the dive site is 55' /17m. You will need to be at least
a certified diver and have dived within the last 2 years to take
part in this dive.
Come and meet our shark feeders Jeferson and Mark who will be
happy to share their passion for these incredible animals.
