SCUBA and snorkling

[thickerson555]

We have a group of 4. Two want to dive, and two who want to snorkel. Are there any places that can accommodate us? Is Divi beach a place where one group could dive and the other hand out on the beach and snorkel?

 

Thanks for any advice.

I am not sure what is available at Divi Little Bay post-Irma. Aqua Mania runs the watersports for Divi and they used to have scuba there - they would run you out a bit - I am not sure how great it is as a dive site - but it would be an easy place for a group of both snorkelers off beach and divers. I suggest you call Aqua Mania at 721-544-2640 and ask them what is available and what they might recommend. And/or check websites for Aqua Mania and Octopus Diving. Octopus does a good job and gets good reviews for its diving - I do not know anyone who has gone with them for snorkeling but I am sure they can do a good job with that. What I really do not know is a company (even pre-Irma) that does a good job combining the dive and snorkel groups on one trip. A lot of good dive sites are not really snorkel sites.

Just wondering ... which other port stops you'll be having?

St.Martin/St.Maarten has lovely beaches ... but you might enjoy doing your scuba & snorkling more elsewhere. ;)
