Dive-site story
Located off the leeward coast within Saba National Marine Park, Porites Point centers around sloping volcanic rock covered by heavy encrustations of stony corals. Named after the prominent mustard hill and finger coral colonies that dominate the structure, the reef transitions from a shallow rocky terrace down into sandy channels and deeper spur formations.
Extensive colonies of mustard hill and finger corals encrusting volcanic boulder formations
