St. Eustatius (Statia) Group Dive Trip

NOVEMBER 6–13, 2027  ·  16 DIVES  ·  SCUBAQUA DIVE CENTER

Most Caribbean dive destinations have been discovered. The boats are crowded, the reefs are familiar, and the resorts know it. Statia is different. This eight-square-mile island has 36 moored dive sites, a 10.6-square-mile marine park, no high-rise hotels, and dive boats that are usually the only ones at the site. The reefs here look the way most of the Caribbean used to, and the island has made a point of keeping it that way.

📅 Nov 6–13, 2027 🦥 16 dives over 5 days 🌙 1 night dive included 🧭 Free nitrox 🏙 Non-divers welcome 18 spots
