Dive-site story
Rising from the seafloor off Saba's western coast, Twilight Zone is a submerged offshore volcanic pinnacle. The dive begins with a descent down a mooring line into open blue water to reach the deep summit. Yellow tube sponges, sea whips, and thickets of deepwater black coral encrust the crest of the seamount, where strong currents concentrate pelagic species and predatory fish along the upcurrent face.
