Of all the dive sites surrounding St. Eustatius, GRAND CANYON is the most exhilarating. This site consists of a series of volcanic fissures that pour a never ending stream of sand to the depths below. The seascape created here may be unmatched in the caribbean. Advanced divers can explore the depths to 125 feet while the less experienced may choose to stay atop the wall in 70-80 feet. Superb visibility and a wide variety of large animals combined with the very dramatic backdrop make this dive a heart stopper. Come visit our underwater version of the Grand Canyon and you will not want to leave.

BARRACUDA, a mini wall rising from 75 feet to 50 feet is a quarter of a mile long and is home to many predatory fish as the name suggests. Millions of little critters inhabit this ledge so there are plenty of lively surprises in every nook and cranny. E.T. the resident porcupine fish is always around, as are nurse sharks and large lobsters. the coral encrusted 18th century anchor makes a terrific background for a picture of your buddy, but the real photographic opportunity is on the ledge. A macro photographers heaven. Fishes, corals, and sponges create a cornucopia of color ranging from vivid reds, oranges, and yellows to brown, pink and blue.

CHARLIE BROWN, sunk on July 25, 2003, she has attracted dozens of species of fish. Horse-eyed jacks, barracudas, tangs, sergeant majors and numerous other tropical fish and invertebrates inhabit this new artificial reef.

Charlie Brown is an AT& T cable repair ship, 330 feet long and 45 feet wide, lying in 100 feet of water. This wreck site is an easy dive for beginners to the seasoned wreck diver. A must dive for everybody.

CHIEN TONG, she is the newest wreck to go down in the Caribbean. She was put in 77 feet of water in Aug 2004. She is 170 feet long Taiwanese fishing vessel that was obtained by the island in July 2004. Brought to Statia and cleaned in less than two weeks.
