Scuba Diving

Sint Michiel itself is an old fisherman's place and still active as such. It is located outside the tourist areas. If you like fresh seafood just check the catch of the day at the village "center" when the fishermen return. Further, you can visit the remains of an old Dutch defense post near the harbor which is just a few minutes walk from the villa.

Dolphin watching: If you are lucky you can watch the dolphins passing by within a few hundred feet from your breakfast table. If you are one of the brave ones, you may decide to jump into the water and swim with them. We have had the pleasure to experience this many times.  For scuba diving this is the place to be!  As you are only a minute away from Sint Michiel, you will find some of the best scuba dive schools on the island within walking distance. The founder of one of these scuba schools worked with Jacques Cousteau, the famous French marine biologist. If you prefer your own equipment and your own schedule, you can rent equipment and/or tanks from next door and make dives from your private dock. Do not be surprised to meet the sea turtles and the seahorses! Maybe even discover the ocean life at night; night dives are amazing!

Public transport is available on the island; however, we suggest to provide your own transport (rental car). With desalinated water on the island, the water is clean, safe and one of the purest waters you'll ever taste!  You can drink the water out of the tap with pleasure!
