Dive the Caribbean's hidden gems with a team that has been exploring St. Maarten's reefs and wrecks since 1977.
Ocean Explorers Dive Center operates out of Kim Sha Beach in Simpson Bay on the Dutch side of St. Maarten (SXM). Established in 1977 and described as the oldest dive shop on the island, it is a small family-owned operation run by Jeferson Techera and Luciana de Lima. The center runs boat dives to over 35 locations around the island, featuring reefs, wrecks, and shark encounters. They emphasize small, personal dive groups and offer both single-tank and multi-dive packages for certified divers, as well as night dives and specialty experiences like Shark Awareness.
