Comments	Hurricane Sandy decreased the viz, but we still enjoyed the dives. Since St. Maarten designated some areas a marine park several years ago, the sharks have increased and we saw them on about 70% of the dives. Spotted eagle rays on about 4 dives, saw 5 at once! Lots of healthy soft coral and fans. While it's no Cozumel or Saba, we'll dive St. Maarten and with Blue Bubbles again.
