Last week I took a solo underwater photography class from Sally. This was not your routeine photo class. This class was tailored to my skill level and equipment type. She took the time to plan out our dive and accomplished all the goals set. It was well worth the time and effort. My photos improved greatly. Thanks Sally

My husband went diving with Octopus and I came along to snorkel. Mick and Wez were very helpful and informative and we very much enjoyed the diversity of fish and coral near the island just offshore from Grand Case. Overall an excellent excursion!

My boyfriend and I stayed on St. Maarten before heading to a wedding on Anguilla. My Aunt had visited Octopus Diving a few years before and said it absolutely was a must do. Neither my boyfriend or I had ever done scuba diving before so we emailed Sally to set up our reservation. Sally was very welcoming in responding to... More

Two of us came to St. Martin on the cruise ship and I found Octopus Diving online and through various review sites including Trip Advisor, and all reviews were excellent. Sally answered all of my initial emails and questions quickly. While I had dived before, the other guy had not. We were set up with a discover scuba dive (2... More

Having never dived before, but after hearing such amazing things, my partner and I chose to dive with Octopus on our trip to St. Martin, and we were not disappointed. Mick and Marcella were extremely helpful and friendly, and the perfect team to teach us the ropes. There was the perfect balance of learning the techniques necessary for our first... More

Instructors Mic and Marcella were fantastic, they were so professional but great fun. Their briefings and instruction really put my partner at ease, and he loved every... More

I've been diving with Chris and Sally at Octopus since they opened about 5 years ago, usually once or twice a year. Each time I go they step it up another notch , the facility and the attention to the diver is first rate. Like one of the other reviews said , you just show up and dive, they take... More

This was our second time to St. Martin and our second time to use Octopus. We were so pleased the first time, we came back. And trust me, we don't come back if we aren't happy. Not as much visiting this time on shore (everyone seemed busy), but the whole experience was great from email reservations to the trip itself.... More

I had booked this Diving trip in advanced and sent some e-mails to Sally asking for some questions and answers. When I got to the site to dive and meet the crew it was like I was part of their family! What an awesome adventure. I wanted 3 things out of 6 dives. One was to see dolphins, two to... More

During my holiday in St. Martin I decided to give scuba diving a try. I went to Octopus diving and It was not disappointing!
