Overall Rating

While Undercurrents pans St. Maarten as a dive site, we found that the
coral was reasonably good and the dives were fairly interesting (although
not more that 70 feet).  Although the sea was moderately rough (enough to
cause some on the boat to be seasick and to result in fairly rough return
to the boat), the coral was in good shape and there were a number of
smaller fish species.  We saw a large sting ray at the end of one dive.  As
for Dive Mania, we had around 15 persons on the boat, and the divemasters
(3) did not seem to worry about what we did.  That's OK for divers with
experience, but no so good for the beginners we had with us.  They sped

not particularly careful of the coral or the sea life.  We decided not to
dive with them a second time.  We had two well-kept rooms at the Pelican
Resort - very comfortable, roomy, and well equipped.  However, the people
who dealt with the public were not friendly and seemed to be put upon to
have to wait on us.  Friendly island, my a--.
