About SNUBA SXM
SNUBA SXM runs guided shallow-water SNUBA experiences from Bobby's Marina in Philipsburg, Sint Maarten. SNUBA sits between snorkeling and scuba: guests breathe through a regulator connected by an air line to a tank floating on a raft at the surface, so there is no heavy gear to wear and no scuba certification required. Eligible beginners from age 8 and up can join, making it one of the most accessible ways to actually breathe underwater on the island.
Every tour is led by a professional guide, with an average underwater portion of around 45 minutes over shallow, fish-rich water. Snorkeler passengers can book onto the same tour, so mixed groups — a family where some want to go under and others prefer to float on top — stay together on one outing. The Philipsburg location puts the operation within easy reach of the cruise port, and the team regularly hosts cruise ship guests looking for a shore excursion they can book directly.
For visitors to St Maarten who want more than a snorkel but are not ready to commit to a scuba course, SNUBA SXM fills the gap. Booking is handled directly through their own website, and the crew takes care of all equipment, orientation, and in-water guiding from start to finish.
