Another great dive with CDC! I did a two tank dive with Kelly and a group from one of the cruise ships. She went way beyond in making sure everyone had an enjoyable dive. My favorite was "The Maze", lots of marine life and some swim throughs and beautiful underwater structure. The highlight though was my son, Kevin doing his first open water dive with Michel and Kelly. Michel is certified to work with people with disabilities and has the perfect combination of knowledge and patience to do this very well. The result was that Kevin had the experience of a lifetime! After practicing in the resort swimming pool and getting comfortable with everything, Michel, Kelly and Kevin went in Little Bay and Kevin got to see lobsters and all kinds of fish. What a thrill! While their rates for diving are extremely reasonable anyway, this was priceless! As I told Michel, this meant more to me and Kevin than money. It was simply special. Whether you are interested in Snuba, learning to dive, or are experienced and would like to do some Adventure Dives, this is the place and the people to do it with. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

My husband and I really enjoyed trying Snuba with Michel and Ralph. They were both so friendly and accommodating to us. We tried to Snuba one day and after we got to the site, the water was murky and we could not see a couple of feet in front of us. Michel asked us if we wanted our money back or gave us the option to come back the next day. We decided to come back the next day and we had a great time. I am impressed with the professionalism and kindness of all of the employees of this company, especially Michel. If we come back to St. Martin again, we are sure to come back to the Caribbean Dive College and try Snuba again or one of their other tours.

We visited Michel, Kelly and crew 28 April 2010 while in port aboard The Carnival Dream. As soon as they picked us up at the dock you could see there was something different about them. Their friendliness professionalism equipment sense of humor. I was with 2 of my regular dive buddies and we all had a fantastic time. Michel took us to Cable Reef and the Carib Ghost. This was my 3rd cruise and 5th or 6th dive excursion while on the cruises but it is by far the best one. We are planning a trip back in the next year or so for a week long stay and are looking forward to seeing the folks again. When in St. Maarten diving I will be exclusively using CDC and refering all of my diving friends to go there. Thanks again Michel and Kelly hope to see you soon!!!

My husband and I recently vacationed in St Maarten. We thought we would try diving for the first time as something fun to do, we went once and couldn't help but to keep going back, we are now both now certified open water divers! I a person who gets freaked but the little fish swimming around your feet while wading in shore, was nervous about swimming with bigger fish and in much deeper water ha ha. I found that I LOVE diving and will keep coming back for more not only because of the beautiful underwater scenery but our instructor Michel was very helpful and made you feel at ease in the water. Due to their top notch professionalism and unmatched expertise we will only us this dive shop in the future. And highly recommend anyone that wants to learn how to dive or already knows and is just looking for a great dive shop to go with to use the Caribbean Dive College. All the staff were very friendly and just all around awesome instructors. We are already planning our vacation for next year and will defiantly be going back to the CDC for the next level. Thank you guys for making our vacation a fun and memorable one. Michel, Kelly and Paulus we will see you next year!!

Hi, Michel and Kelly! Just a short note to say thank you for the wonderful hospitality extended to Donna and me on our visit to your beautiful home! The diving was only exceeded by the fun and fellowship you two and Captain Bob provided. Your combination of professionalism and friendliness was beyond anything we have experienced in our various trips to the Caribbean. We can't thank you enough for a terrific adventure.

I am a crew member of a cruise ship and have been cruising the Caribbean for a few months now diving whenever I can. FWIW, i am rescue certified. This was the by far the most professional dive shop I have encountered so far. Until this dive, I was disappointed with dive operators i used. Michel and the boys were fantastic. Our group of maybe 10 had different experience levels ranging from OW to instructor and we were separated into two groups based on this. Each group had different colored tanks which made it easy to identify who was who. Everything was very smooth. We were a little late in getting back to our ship so they dropped us off on the pier which saved us a lot of trouble. I will dive with these guys every time I am in St Maarten. Keep up the god work.

I spent a glorious 2 weeks in SXM, and part of the reason I had such a great vacation was due to the excellent staff at CDC. I was a bit nervous about my first scuba dive, but everyone was great, they put me at ease and made the water world my home away from home. If anyone is keen on scuba diving in the St. Maarten area, I would highly encourage you to seek out the help of CDC.
