Not being sure if you were on a cruise when you dove St. Maarten before or stayed on the island I'll share that my first time on St Maarten I stayed and dove near Simpson Bay and I wasn't too impressed. The second time I stayed in Phillipsburg and dove with Scuba Fun (which may not be back in operation yet due to 2017 hurricanes) located in Great Bay where the cruise ship docks. I really liked the sites around Great Bay much more than around Simpson Bay.
Already posted about St. Johns in post #4.
Yes I did st Maarten on a cruise. We did the fish bowl first and a wreck second. Forgot was the name was.
