Diving in St. Eustatius


Divers don't have to go far to discover the full range of Statia's diving. No site on the island's sheltered western shore is more than three miles from the docks, and all sit relatively close to shore. The island's volcanic origins are evident in the finger-like lava ridges that radiate outward from shore, and in the more isolated domes and pinnacles that rise from the sand. A variety of hard and soft corals make their home on this igneous substrate, which is often carved into ledges, clefts and caverns. In addition to modern shipwrecks, the reefs and sandy shallows of the island's west coast hold a treasure trove of artifacts from historic wrecks that are now little more than piles of ballast stones and anchors. One prize find that divers are allowed to carry home are the blue beads that have become an iconic symbol of Statia's maritime past.
