DIVE SITES

   

When diving with Dive Safaris you may go to any of the sites listed below. The dive site is usually chosen on the morning of the dive with consideration given to weather conditions and visibility.

THE EAST SIDE

H.M.S. PROSELYTE
(Crew's Favorite)
Depth: 46ft / 15m
Dive Site: A 200-year-old wrecked British frigate has been transformed into incredible reef formations strewn with coral-encrusted cannons and 3 giant anchors. Almost any type of sea critter can be seen here.

FISHBOWL
Depth: 60ft / 19m
Dive Site: This site features 2 coral arches, a lush reef and a good chance to encounter Mr Big!
LUCY'S BARGE
Depth: 50ft
Dive Site: Broken open by storms, this wreck attracts masses of marine life including eels and nurse sharks - a photographer's dream.
THE MAZE
Depth: 50ft
Dive Site: Some of the most beautiful coral swim throughs in the Eastern Caribbean and home to turtles and schools of colorful tropicals.

THE WEST SIDE

CARIB CARGO
Depth:
70ft
Dive Site: An intact cargo ship sitting upright on a sandy bottom. The wreck is stable and penetrable in 70 feet of water and is surrounded by sting rays and reef fish. An interesting and easy dive!
EMMA'S WALL
Depth:
55ft
Dive Site: A mini wall bordered by a white sand bottom. In the crevices are crabs, lobsters, eels, cleaner shrimp and nurser sharks.
THE BRIDGE
Depth:
25ft to 60ft
Dive Site: An artificial reef created from the remains of the Simpson Bay Bridge and 2 sunken yachts. Singrays, turtles, eels and tropicals.
GREGORY II
Depth:
55ft
Dive Site: An overturned flat-bottomed freighter sitting on a lush reef. Huge barrel sponges and a chance to swim under the wreck.
FU SHEUNG
Depth:
120ft
Dive Site: Our premier deep dive. Explore an intact offshore fishing vessel in 120ft / 38m. A terrific advanced dive.
ISABELLA'S REEF
Depth:
100ft / 30m
Dive Site: At almost 100ft / 30m, this is one of the deepest reefs around the island. Untouched coral and schools of fish.

FURTHER OUT

ONE STEP BEYOND

Depth:
70ft
Dive Site: An underwater pinnacle rising from a lush reef. See huge schools of fish and a coral swim through.
HEN & CHICKS / MOONHOLE
(Weather Permitting)

Depth: 65ft
Dive Site: Spectacular! Lush coral and a stark contrast - a sunken lunar crater where waves explode above your head. Corridors and caves out the back.
MOLLY B'DAY
Depth:
Dive Site: A remote outcropping that's seldom dived. As a result the fish are curious and the corals virtually untouched.
LITTLE GROUPERS
Depth:
Dive Site: Closer to St. Barths than St. Maarten it features pristine hard and soft corals and wonderful fish life.

FUN, SHALLOW DIVES
