Dive-site story
Situated off the southeastern tip of Saba within the protected marine park, Hole in the Corner takes its name from the distinctive rocky arch visible on the shoreline above. Beneath the surface, divers find dramatic volcanic formations sculpted by open-ocean surges, featuring ridges, spur-and-groove reefs, and dramatic drop-offs covered in gorgonian sea fans and large barrel sponges.
Rugged volcanic topography with distinct ridges and deep spur-and-groove formations
Frequent encounters with cruising Caribbean reef sharks and nurse sharks resting in sandy gullies
Expansive fields of sea whips, deep-water seafans, and healthy hard coral coverage
