Big Mama's Reef

No reviews yetSt Martin

Beautiful dive site, east of the HMS Proselyte. A large sandy area with an enormous reef surrounding it. Numerous larger fish and plentiful Caribbean Reef Sharks. This is also the site of a Shark Awareness Dive so the sharks are always nearby and always give a tremendous experience to divers of all levels This site is only accessible by boat, about 30 minute ride from Simpson Bay lagoon, on the east side of the island south of Bobby's Marina in Philipsburg.

HMS Proselyte

No reviews yetSt Martin

Dutch frigate, originally named the Jason, launched in 1770. In 1796, the crew mutinied and handed the ship over to the British, who renamed the ship HMS Proselyte. In September of 1801, on a trip from St Kitts to St Martin, the ship struck the Man O War Shoals and sank. All of the crew were rescued, however. You can still see a couple of large anchors, some cannons and other heavily encrusted objects on the sea floor, right below the current mooring. Plenty of wildlife in around the reef. If you're lucky you may even encounter one or two Caribbean Reef sharks prowling the canyons. South of Great bay. The site is equipped with mooring buoys. This dive site is part of the St Maarten Marine Park. You need to have a valid dive tag to be diving on this site. (see www.naturefoundationsxm.org) HMS Proselyte is also known as Jason.
