Comments	Ocean Explorers is one of the best dive operations I have used, period. A small family run operation, experienced and knowledgeable staff, well maintained boats and equipment all combine to make your diving safe and enjoyable. They go out of their way to make sure you don't repeat sites(unless you want to and the weather cooperates). I would most definitely use them again. St Martin diving impressed me and Ocean Explorers was the reason why. If you want wrecks, reefs and diverse diving with relatively short boat rides this is the place to go.

UW Photo Comments	The boats are small, in the 30' range so deck space is a little limited. Don't expect large rinse tanks on board for your camera gear or any real room to work on it. The crew does take every precaution to see that your gear safe and protected.
