Dive-site story
Inner Jenkins Bay sits along the sheltered northwestern coastline of Sint Eustatius within the island's marine park. The underwater landscape features jumbled volcanic boulders encrusted with gorgonian fans, interspersed with white sand flats and shallow patch reefs. Because the bay receives natural protection from trade winds, calm conditions make it a relaxed dive for slow exploration and macro photography.
Volcanic rock formations blanketed in encrusting corals and sea plumes
Expansive sandy patches inhabited by camouflaged bottom-dwellers
Sheltered inshore waters ideal for extended bottom times and photography
