Description

Embark on an extraordinary snorkeling and Sea Trek adventure in Phillipsburg, where you'll traverse the enchanting Caribbean seabed and discover the vibrant reefs along the coast of Sint Maarten. This is an experience to remember!

Activity Details

Our journey begins at Bobby's Marina, the meeting point for this unique opportunity to explore the underwater wonders of the Caribbean through two exciting methods: snorkeling and Sea Trek. Are you prepared to dive in off the coast of Phillipsburg?

After gathering everyone, we will board our boat for a short ride to a floating platform nearby. Here, participants will receive a concise briefing covering the equipment usage, safety measures, and the fundamentals of breathing underwater with a specialized helmet. We will then divide into two groups.

One group will take the plunge to snorkel for 30 minutes, while the other starts their Sea Trek experience. During the snorkeling segment, enthusiasts will glide over shallow coral gardens, where colorful schools of parrotfish, sergeant majors, angelfish, and blue damselfish can be seen weaving through the brain corals and sea fans.

Once the snorkeling session concludes, we will regroup at the platform to switch gear and embark on the Sea Trek. Participants will gradually descend to a depth of 6 m (20 ft) using a 20-step ladder, allowing ample time to acclimatize to the underwater pressure and become accustomed to the helmet.

On the seabed, we will enjoy a 30-minute guided walk along a path equipped with handrails, amidst an array of echinoderms, tube sponges, and a variety of tropical fish. This experience truly embodies the magic of the ocean!

In conclusion, we will resurface and return by boat to our original meeting point, completing this memorable adventure in approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes.
