If, on the other hand, you are looking for unspoiled caribbean charm and premier
diving, this is the island for you!
Statia, (pronounced STAY-sha) is a member of the Dutch Windward Antilles. The island is approximately
178 miles southeast of Puerto Rico and 36 miles south of St. Maarten. It is situated directly between
Saba and St. Kitts only 6 miles to the south.
Although the surrounding islands are overcrowded and bustling with tourism, Statia remains untouched. Add to the quiet setting hospitable people, a prolific history, beautiful scenery and premier diving and you have an island with a perfect atmosphere for fun.
On the west side of the island, near Lowertown, divers and snorkelers alike can explore partially sunken warehouses and the old city wall just a short swim from the shore. There are many shipwrecks here which were laid to rest over 200 years earlier. They are now completely corralized but still offer a chance to find an undiscovered piece of history such as a cannonball, clay pipe or even one of the famed blue glass trading beads that were said to be used to purchase Manhattan.
