Why St. Eustatius
This is the Caribbean before the crowds found it. Locals call the island Statia. Its waters have been a national marine park since 1996, with 36 dive sites, and most are a short boat ride from port with no other boats in sight.
What sets it apart is the mix. One dive is a colorful coral garden, the next is a shipwreck, and the next is an archaeological site with centuries of trading history lying in the sand.
What You’ll Dive
- Historic shipwrecks and archaeological sites: Sites like Double Wreck hold the remains of colonial-era ships, and divers still find 18th-century blue glass beads in the sand.
- A big modern wreck: The 327-foot Charles L. Brown, known as the Charlie Brown, is one of the largest wrecks in the Caribbean.
- Volcanic formations and coral gardens: dramatic rock structure layered with vibrant reef.
- Marine life: sea turtles, stingrays, reef sharks and schools of tropical fish.
- Conditions: Expect water around 78 to 82°F and visibility of 60 to 100 feet.
- The plan: 5 days of 2-tank morning dives. Day 1 is one morning dive and one afternoon dive. Nitrox is complimentary.
Who This Trip Is For
Divers who want variety without the rush. Two-tank mornings leave most afternoons open for the pool, the island or a nap, and no two dive days look the same.
Open Water certification is required. Not certified yet? Not a problem. We can get you certified. Contact us to get started.
Bringing someone who doesn’t dive? Non-diver pricing starts at $1,920.
