Saba is one of the top 10 diving destinations in the world.
Saba is one of the most beautiful diving destinations in the world. The Unspoiled Queen of Saba plunges below the sea as steeply as she rises above. Her volcanic origins have created spectacular formations and structures, a delight for divers. 30 permanently-moored dive sites range from sloping reefs and hot springs to abrupt walls, drop-offs and our famous seamounts. The Saba Marine Park was established in 1987, which makes it one of the first marine parks in the world. We invite you to experience the difference nearly 30 years of protection makes. A spectrum of sponges adorn overhangs and swim throughs while a myriad of coral textures have attached to shapes remnant of Alice in Wonderland. The seafloor of this healthy playground is home to creatures ranging from tiny sea goddesses to funky enormous sea cucumbers. Meanwhile, you may be using a magnifying glass to determine the species of a blenny as a school of Creole wrasse pass-all the while a territorial tarpon the size of your dive buddy watches overhead. Two species of turtles and sharks can be expected daily. Depending on the season, you may look forward to tropical temperatures from 78-84 F (25-29 C).
Whether you are a first-time diver or simply prefer super easy dives, Saba has dive sites for any level of experience. Professional dive centers offer snorkeling as well as Discover Scuba Diving ( first time scuba diving) experiences or training to professional levels.
Saba offers year-round diving with seasonal differences in water temperature and surface conditions. Visibility ranges from a minimum of 20m (60ft) to virtually unlimited. Swells and heavy rainfall may influence visibility, but typically it clears again quickly.
