Dive recommendations for the St. Martin area?

i thought as we passed catamaran ferry , i could see the passengers riding
up and down, my wife who gets seasick very easily wouldn't want to be on
that boat. That said, maybe rough was a slight exaggeration (-:)?

2-3 foot is rough?

2-3 is a pretty mild swell for open ocean crossings. We consider
ourselves lucky when it's that flat out here. And catamarans make it
even easier on the seasick prone.

The worst ferry I ever rode was the single-hull Victoria Express
between Port Angeles, WA and Victoria, BC. Fine on the way there, but
it was bouncing like crazy on the way back. Plus they poured me a rum
and coke that was almost all rum and we had eaten some very greasy dim
sum for lunch. At least the grease helped lubricate everything coming
back up.
