Dive-site story
Gibraltar is an offshore volcanic dive site located within the St. Eustatius National Marine Park. A towering volcanic monolith rises steeply from the sand plateaus, flanked by massive scattered boulders and spur-and-groove formations. Large schools of pelagic fish patrol the blue water around the rock summit, while cracks and overhangs provide shelter for macro critters and resting nurse sharks.
