Who is " the Best " dive operator in St.Martin?

[Wookie]

I've known Leroy French at Ocean Explorers for a lot of years, and he gets some incredible photos which leads me to believe that he knows the best dive sites. With that said, Octopus divers has a great reputation, but I don't know anything about them.

Wookie - I would agree, except Lee sold OE and I believe is in Hilton Head, SC (per his website). That said, I've heard good stuff about the folks to whom he sold his shop. I've also been out with Aquamania the shop located at Simpson ay Resort, formerly the Pelican Resort.

What side of the island will you be staying in? Octopus Divers on the French side gets good reviews but I have no direct experience with them.

I dove with bothe Ocean Explorers and Octopuss Diving last year. Both very good dive operations and I will be visiting both in 2 weeks.

I'm headed down as wel, 22nd-29th. Haven't picked a dive op yet though leaning towards OE as they are much closer to the resort where we are staying. Either way I'll post upon my return.

Quick trip update. Setting up dives with OE on Thursday, Friday and Tuesday (23, 24, 28) plus their shark dive and planning a day trip to Saba on Sunday (26th). Thinking about an afternoon with Octopus as well, so will review all after we get back. Travelling with my wife, look for us and say hi if you're on our trip!
