ABOUT SABA

Saba, the stunning Dutch Caribbean island known as "The Unspoiled Queen," is a hidden gem full of unexpected experiences, making it the ideal spot for an unforgettable adventure. With its warm Caribbean hospitality, authentic charm, and abundance of outdoor activities, now is the perfect time to plan and discover Saba.  Located just 12 minutes by air or a scenic 90-minute ferry ride from St. Maarten, the island offers world-class diving, incredible hiking, and a rich cultural scene. It soars 5,000 feet from the seafloor of which 3,000 feet are visible. With a population of just over 1,800, Saba is comprised of four main villages - The Bottom (Saba's capital), Windwardside, St. John's, and Zion's Hill (a.k.a. "Hell's Gate").

 

DIVING ON SABA

Saba's underwater world is as dramatic and captivating as its towering above-water landscapes. The island offers a diverse range of thirty (30) dive sites suitable for all levels of divers, from shallow patch reefs to deep underwater seamounts. The remnants of past volcanic activity have sculpted awe-inspiring formations like underwater lava flows and hot springs. The reefs teem with vibrant tropical fish and thriving coral, while the near-shore walls are adorned with sponges of various sizes. Exciting encounters, including frequent shark sightings, are not uncommon in Saba's pristine waters.

Saba provides year-round diving opportunities, though there are seasonal variations in water temperature and surface conditions. Water temperatures typically range from 26°C to 28°C (77°F-84°F), and visibility varies from a minimum of 20 meters (60 feet) to nearly unlimited. Occasionally, swells and heavy rainfall can affect visibility, but these conditions tend to improve swiftly.

Due to the steep coastal terrain, shore diving is prohibited, necessitating diving through one of Saba's authorized dive centers. Their expertise ensures a safe, hassle-free, and educational diving experience. Fortunately, Saba's rugged coastline naturally limits excessive coastal development, preserving the marine environment's high quality, resilient reef ecosystems, and the rich and diverse marine life that continue to attract divers to Saba's unspoiled waters.
