Dive-site story
Positioned along the steep underwater ramparts of the Saba National Marine Park, David's Drop Off features a shelf that plummets into the deep blue. Deep-water sea fans, tube sponges, and wire corals cling to the precipitous vertical structure. Clear oceanic currents sweep along the drop-off, drawing pelagic hunters and schools of reef fish out from the shadows.
Sheer wall plunge covered in massive barrel sponges and black coral trees
Regular passes by Caribbean reef sharks cruising off the edge
Schools of creole wrasse and horse-eye jacks streaming along the rim
