About
Sea Trek Helmet Diving (SeaTrek St. Maarten) offers a unique guided underwater walking tour where participants wear a lightweight helmet supplied with fresh air, allowing them to walk on the seafloor at about 20 feet depth without swimming or prior training. No swimming skills are required; you simply walk and breathe normally while keeping hair and glasses dry. The tour lasts about 2.5 hours total, including a short boat ride from Bobby's Marina in Philipsburg to an underwater platform near Fort Amsterdam. Participants descend a ladder to the seafloor and follow a guided path past attractions like shipwrecks, historical cannons, a sunken submarine, a sunken helicopter, and tropical marine life. Groups alternate between helmet diving (about 30 minutes) and snorkeling (about 30 minutes) for variety, with time for relaxation in the water afterward. It's family-friendly for ages 8+, safe with constant supervision, and ideal for non-swimmers or those wanting an easy underwater experience.
