Scuba Diving in Saba and St. Kitts

Dive the Northeastern Caribbean | Caribbean Explorer II Liveaboard

Scuba diving in Saba and St. Kitts aboard the Caribbean Explorer II liveaboard is diverse, memorable and exciting. Dive into the underwater worlds of Saba Marine Park and St Kitts below.

Saba, the Unspoiled Queen, is known for its offshore pinnacles and deep underwater seamounts. The 5 square mile top of a dormant volcano, it towers 3,000 feet (914.4 m) above the surface surrounded by warm volcanic sand. The abrupt and jagged topography above the sea is mirrored below, with dramatic dive sites and a profusion of marine life that attests to the early institution of the Saba Marine Park ‘SMP’ in 1987. Saba is Caribbean diving at its best. Favorite dive sites include Diamond Rock, Man O’War Shoals, Custom’s House, Tent Wall, Tent Reef, Ladder Labyrinth, Torren’s Point, and Third Encounter (The Needle/Eye of the Beholder). Common marine life sightings include curious nurse sharks, reef sharks, turtles, lobster, eels, and for the lucky divers eagle rays, sea horses, and batfish.  

St. Kitts offers arguably the widest variety of sites including finger reefs, recent wrecks, and a variety of coral labyrinths that will capture your imagination. Top dive sites include Monkey Shoals, Anchors Aweigh, Paradise Reef, Wreck of the Corinthian, and the most popular Wreck of the River Taw. The MV River Taw is continually voted as a favorite dive site among guests due to its vibrant coral growth and the surge of macro-life activity on the night dives. Photographers should be sure to bring their macro-lenses as in St Kitts you can often spot frogfish, sea horses, and other marine life that’s considered rare in the Caribbean!
