Scuba Diving @ Sint Maarten 2009

” This presentation is about scuba diving. All the under water pictures were taken during a 8 day trip to the island Sint Maarten in the Caribbean. „ Henrico Dolfing

This is me ...

… and this is Sint Maarten …

The 87 km2 island is divided roughly in half between France (53 km2) and the Netherlands Antilles (34 km2)

Border between the Dutch and French part

The short length of the main runway at Princess Juliana International Airport, and its position between a large hill and a beach causes some spectacular approaches …

The main reason I am visiting the island reguarly ...

… is that my (not so) little brother lives at the island.

So now to the scuba diving part ...

... after suiting up ...

... taking the boat to the spot ...

... and jumping in the water ...

... St. Maarten offers an amazing under water experience !

Astonishing coral ...

Barracudas ...

Moonfish ...

Caribbean Lobster ... (Metanephrops binghami)

Spotted Eagle Ray … (Aetobus narinari)

... and many ...

... many other fish !

I also had my first encounter with a shark ...

... there she was ...

... swimming towards us ...

... here my dive buddy notices her.

She was not big, but still it was an awesome experience.

Thanks to Paul from ScubaFun !
