This dive site, Little Bay, is a shallow, easily accessible spot located directly off the beach in Sint Maarten. Ideal for beginners, it offers a gentle introduction to Caribbean diving. A unique feature is the underwater 'sea museum' adorned with statues, providing an interesting navigational landmark and photo opportunity amidst the natural rocky bottom and seagrass beds.
Divers can expect to encounter Boulder Brain Corals and Maze Corals, which form part of the vibrant underwater landscape. The seagrass areas are particularly noted for sightings of Southern Stingrays and the majestic Spotted Eagle Rays, adding excitement to the dive. Various small reef fish are also likely to inhabit the coral formations.
The site is suitable for diving year-round, with generally calm conditions. Its shallow nature makes it excellent for both scuba divers learning new skills and for freedivers exploring the statues and marine life. Snorkelers will also find plenty to see close to the surface, making it a versatile location for all water enthusiasts.
