The owner has been on the island for 15 years, is french and I think been in the dive business the whole time. He knows the island and where the best dives are - caves, canyons, dolphins. He's got a great boat - it's a pontoon type dive boat - shaped like a regular dive boat but a pontoon. Very... More

Great dive company. Everyone works together like they are a family. The team is experienced and they have a nice boat. Dive shop was very open to our request and allowed us to do a dive that per our request. Fun and friendly. Worth the trek out to the other side of the island if you are coming in from... More

I wanted to discover underwater treasures of Sint Maarten island and I was not disapointed : sea turtles, nurse sharks, coral gardens and reefs, ship wrecks ... all beautiful and in warm water (although there were waves at that time due to hurricane season)! Jean-Michel and Nathalie are very welcoming and helpful. Always a joke or a nice piece of... More

Scuba zen is named on purpose. We enjoyed our divings with a team very professional, really concerned about security, flexible on everything else and above all really friendly. The material and the boat are really neat. The spots are rich and even wrecks are adapted to every level of divers. My wife passed her open water certification during our stay... More

For some time my husband has wanted to obtain his PADI OW certification, but could never find the time to do it. Through a Trip Advisor Review we found that Scuba Zen in Anse Marcel, St. Maarten participates in the PADI Certification process. The VERY CONVENIENT twist is that PADI now has an ON LINE course one does at home... More

I've travelled a few times to St-Martin/Sint-Maarteen, and seen the other dive centers. A friend of mine recommended me this small yet cozy and very charming place at Anse Marcel, where the Radisson Blu 4stars+ Resort Spa+Marina is. Well, it's in small boxes that you find nicest gifts. My daughter (14) and I went for scuba PADI lessons. The lessons... More

My husband and I stayed at the Marquis last week in Anse Marcel and wanted to do some diving. It had been a while since our last diving. The atmosphere at scuba zen is very relaxed and calming. Good equipment, a lot of experience and very nice people. We did a refreshment dive and two fun dives. We saw a... More

My husband and I wanted to obtain our PADI Open Water Certification while visiting SXM. We first emailed Scuba Zen to verify that it would be helpful for us to complete all of the "bookwork" and testing online prior to our vacation, leaving only the fun hands-on stuff for SXM. Thus, over 10 hours of PADI eLearning per person later,... More
