Blue Odyssey Diving
The Dive Center.
Since 2014, our dive center has been welcoming you at the WaterSport facility of the Hommage Hotel in Baie Nettlé, near Marigot, on the island of Saint Martin. Thanks to an Air 18 m³ compressor at 350 bar, tanks are filled directly on the boat, which is moored just 50 meters from the dive center, ensuring maximum comfort and efficiency. All diving equipment was fully renewed in 2026 to guarantee quality, safety, and comfort for our divers.
Blue Odyssey Diving has become a true meeting place built on a shared passion for diving, where friendliness and connection are at the heart of the experience. Divers of all nationalities are welcome. We speak both French and English fluently.
Zodiac 850 Open Pro. "Maxthan"
Our boat is powered by twin 150 HP Mercury engines, allowing us to transport divers and equipment with comfort, speed, and stability, even when sea conditions are slightly rough. Its design makes it both powerful and reassuring, perfectly suited for diving excursions.
It is also equipped with a freshwater deck shower, ideal for rinsing off after a dive and enjoying greater comfort on board.
For reboarding, two ladders located on the port and starboard sides make it easy to get back on board after your dive. And rest assured, you won’t need to climb back up with your gear on — we take care of everything.
Maxthan can also be configured for snorkeling trips, depending on your needs and the type of outing you are looking for.
Of course, we always keep a medical assistance kit and oxygen equipment on board to ensure maximum safety on every trip.
