The tiny Caribbean island of Saba is located in the Eastern Caribbean, between St. Maarten and Antigua. Saba is the smallest municipality of the Netherlands. This beautiful, verdant island rises steeply from the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea, with the dormant volcano, Mt. Scenery, providing a dominant backdrop. Saba is a nature-lover's paradise, with a variety of hiking trails and an incredible array of underwater vistas. The friendly locals help make your visit to this island paradise one to remember!

 

The Diving

 

Saba's beauty extends below the waterline into an exciting marine environment rich in corals and active with fish life. Saba offers dive enthusiasts and beginners alike a variety of dive sites; fascinating pinnacle dives that rise from the ocean floor to depths of 100 feet, or shallower dives where one can enjoy more bottom time. Saba's underwater world is home to a busy population of colorful tropical fish including large groupers, jacks, blue tangs, goatfish, and parrotfish. Lava tunnels and hot springs remind divers of the dramatic volcanic beginnings of the island. Along the edge of Saba's sheer wall dives, divers can sight turtles and rays of all shapes and sizes.
