How to Go Night Diving in St Maarten

There’s something different about the sea when the sun goes down. The water feels stiller, the coral seems to breathe, and the island reveals a side few ever get to see. That’s the magic of night diving in St Maarten.

Dive Sint Maarten is opening up the island’s underwater world to certified divers through monthly night dives — a rare opportunity to explore reefs and marine life under the glow of dive lights. Guided by expert instructors, divers descend into the calm evening waters to find a completely different ecosystem awake beneath the surface.

Nocturnal creatures emerge from their daytime hiding places, corals pulse with bioluminescence, and the reef comes alive in unexpected ways. From graceful rays gliding by to curious turtles and vibrant reef fish, it’s a thrilling underwater experience designed for certified divers looking to see St Maarten in a new light.

Dive Sint Maarten offers a range of guided underwater experiences throughout the year, including daily dive trips, specialty courses and private charters.

But the night dives — held once a month — deliver something unforgettable. It’s a way to explore the Caribbean that few ever do.
