Sea Trek St. Maarten

Sea Trek St. Maarten is a 2 ½ hour tour excursion that runs several times daily. The tour starts with a 5 minute walk from the gangway to the water taxi pier and a 10 minute boat ride out to our staging area. Once on board the Sea Trek dock your guide will give a safety briefing and will answer any questions that you may have. The underwater trek itself takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete; based on the number of guests participating in that particular tour, 2 separate tours may be made. Each tour will have no more than 10 guests and will have a minimum of 3 Sea Trek staff members with the tour at all times as a safety precaution. If there are 2 groups participating in the tour, while one group is underwater the other guests are offered the opportunity to go for a snorkel while they wait. Once both groups have completed the Sea Trek tour there will be an opportunity to buy photos taken of you on the trek before boarding the boat and getting shuttled back to the cruise ship pier or the main land.Helmet diving feeds continuous air through low pressure lines on the surface down to the Sea Trekker under water. The air pressure inside the helmet keeps the water level right around shoulder height and the majority of the time you won’t even get your hair wet. You climb down a ladder from the Sea Trek dock that reaches 20 feet down to the ocean floor. The track, a loop approximately 300 feet long, takes you past both natural and artificial reefs such as a helicopter, a plane, a submarine, King Neptune and 2 canons salvaged from Fort Amsterdam. You’ll be also invited to interact with some of the local sea creatures along the way. Once back to the beginning of the track loop you climb the ladder back onto the dock while personally lead both up and down the ladder by a guide or safety diver.Min 8 yrs. and able to walk and climb a ladder. You have to be in good physical condition and sign a waiver. This tour is not recommended for guests with physical disabilities, a pacemaker, severe asthma, claustrophobia or for women over 3 months pregnant. Max depth is 20 feet. There are tee shirts, sodas and bottled water available for purchase after the tour – cash only please. No rest room available at the platform. No secured lockers available.

Shopper's Haven

One of the few jewelry stores in the Friendly Island of St. Maarten that thrives on maximum repeat and recommended customers. We have been in business since December 1990 and unlike other jewelry stores in the Caribbean Our range in natural color diamonds, loose diamonds, precious and semi-precious gemstones, set or unset is extensive. We strongly believe in the 5 C's "Color, Carat Weight, Clarity, Cut AND Customer Confidence". We are the only Jewelry store in the Caribbean to offer American Advantage (AA) miles for every dollar spent.FRIENDLY ALERT!!SHOPPER'S HAVEN ST. MAARTEN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY OTHER SHOPPER'S HAVEN ANYWHERE.

If you are going to buy jewelry in Saint Maarten then you must buy from Shopper’s Haven! They take the best care of their customers and are always super friendly. This is our second time buying from them and it was as much as a pleasure from three years ago to now. When searching for my wedding band I knew this was the place to go. My fiancé didn’t know his ring size so they were able to assist with getting the correct size as well. Can’t wait to visit the island again and visit Shopper’s Haven!!!
