About Moon hole
Moon Hole is an offshore Sint Maarten dive built around a curious circular rock formation and a shallow marine-park reef. It is a conditions-dependent site because Atlantic swell can make the entry difficult, but when the sea settles it rewards patient divers with vivid reef color, a short swim-through, and schools of tarpons. The site is better treated as a tougher offshore dive than an easy everyday outing.
