Definitively St Maarten's most spectacular dive!!!

Dive Safaris has been successfully feeding the sharks around St Maarten since 1998. This afternoon single tank dive takes place twice a week (see schedule). During this dive, you will have the chance to see 15 to 30 sharks being fed by our professional feeders. Most of the sharks attending the feeding are Caribbean Reef Sharks and Sharp Nose sharks ranging from 3 to 8 feet in length.

The dive lasts around 30-40min. and the depth of the dive site is 55' /17m. You will need to be at least a certified diver and have dived within the last 2 years to take part in this dive.

Come and meet our shark feeders who will be happy to share their passion for these incredible animals.


Facts about sharks:
Did you know?
  • They need our protection! Humans are their biggest predator and sharks are becoming extinct!
  • "Finning" is cutting off the shark's fins and throwing the live shark back into the water to drown since they cannot move to breathe.
  • 100 millions sharks are killed every year for the shark fins soup consumers.
  • You have more chance to get hit by lightning than being bit by a shark.
  • Sharks act like the lions in the jungle and keep our oceans clean. They eat sick and weak fish to keep the schools healthy.
