ST MAARTEN 2025 SEATREK DIVE

We had just went diving over at the sculpture park and decided to head toward the SeaTrek to explore.

I have to say with this dive, I felt a lot more confident in my skills and my buoyancy was ON POINT! I could stop anywhere to take a picture and just hover. I was so proud of myself. I also did pretty good at the frog kick if I say so myself.


I thought the ocean floor looked really weird in places. They were like little mounds of sand. I wonder what's living under there. Crabs?


ree

We were going over mounds of rocks and started seeing a little bit of coral along the way (something we were definitely missing this dive).



Everyone was ahead of me and heading toward the helicopter and something on one of the rocks caught my eye. I motioned Sakari over since she was the closest to me. It was a green starfish!

Then we found a stingray.

Karl was practicing his scuba skills and keeping his hands under him at this point. He said he felt real comfortable this dive and felt like he did better than before.


ree

Aww blowing kisses:


ree

I'm not sure what this is, the remains of...a boat?


ree

A Lionfish. The one and only one we would see this time.



More Bluestriped Grunts:

French Angelfish:


Then we came to this area and I immediately knew what it was....SEATREK!!! We were actually going to be diving around the SeaTrek walk! How cool is that?!? Once again there was NO ONE THERE! Even cooler!


Anyone wanna go shopping? This time I'll make sure to go to the right grocery store. Today's special is ....FRESH FISH!

We've never got to actually float above the SeaTrek walkway. This is so cool. We can explore all the area's you normally can't go into.

A canon:

There was a Trumpetfish hanging out under the canon.

Then we spotted the helicopter. Sakari was in complete shock and said she didn't know what to expect but an entire helicopter??? Yep, that's what it was! We were off to explore it.

As we looked inside the helicopter, we found a really huge Puffer fish coming out.

ree

The helicopter really was neat. I'm glad we got to see it but there was a whole lot more still to see.


Next along the path we would see something that looked like the Neptune God.



ree

Hiding behind him would be a stingray. We see you back there!


The hubby decided he didn't want to scuba anymore and would walk the path of the SeaTrek:


ree

Un un un ☝️You are not allowed to walk on the path. That is for the people with the big heads of air, not the scuba divers. I put him in jail for being naughty.


ree

This looks like it might have been a plane?

ree

Then we noticed something else really big...a submarine!! Sakari was super excited now. When we were done she couldn't stop talking about the submarine.



This was definitely the home to a lot of fishies! I bet they are the fish they feed during the SeaTrek walk and they all come out for pictures.



A really big Stingray. man they were everywhere. Our dive instructor said there usually isn't many stingrays in this area but maybe they were there because none of the SeaTrek people were down there.

Another Trumpetfish:

Well we had seen everything and it was time to go up. We were told before we went into the water that even though we were not going to be deep, we were going to practice a 3 minute safety stop on the way up. So up we went and stopped. Of course I'm taking pictures of down below still...that is when I could get my camera to come back on. 🙄




Then it was time to go all the way up. We would notice that there were tons of Ballyhoo Fish circling us. It was so cool to watch and there were so many of them!



Once we made it to the surface it was a lot easier to get pictures of them.


And here is the "new" floating hut instead of the Tiki Hut, which is now the base for the SeaTrek adventure.
