• Saba

    Life is simple and relaxing on this charming 5 square mile island. There is no duty-free shopping, no bustling traffic, no mangroves…not even a beach. However, in what it lacks, Saba definitely makes up for in two specific areas—diving and hiking.

    In the Eastern Caribbean, there is a chain of islands world-renowned for its high-end resorts, where celebrities, honeymooners and the elite, jet away for luxurious vacations and total privacy.

    A large school of horse-eye jacks and bar jacks was swirling beneath me as I made my descent to the bottom. As I followed Lynn towards the reef, two 6-foot reef sharks swam over the top of the wall and headed straight for our group.

    A short ten-minute boat ride from Ocean Encounters facility at Lions Dive & Beach Resort takes you to the stunning wreck site at the corner of Caracas Bay.

    Sitting perfectly upright in only 15 feet of water, it offers excellent snorkelling and makes a very entertaining safety stop. Brain corals and sponges cover the entire body of the wreck, glassy sweepers usually hide inside its hull.

Diving in the British Virgin Islands



The British Virgin Islands has been well-recognised as a yachting hub in the region, often overshadowing the thriving dive market.

Don't expect dive sites deeper than 90 feet but do expect to visit some world-famous wrecks like the RMS Rhone. Nature's Little Secrets are definitely worth revealing...big time!
