TRIP REPORT: Saba/Statia/St. Kitts, 24 – 31 May 2008

All guests arrived to Caribbean Explorer II by 3:00pm.  Dinner and the safety briefing were done while the boat was at the marina and at 9:30pm the boat headed out to Saba.  They arrived just after midnight and spent the night at the Custom’s House mooring.  There was a strong current this week, but dives were done at Ladder Labyrinth, Custom House, Ladder Lab, 3rd Encounter, Tent Wall and Torrens Point.  Half of the group went on the tour to see the beautiful “Unspoiled Queen” of the Caribbean, as Saba is called. 

On Wednesday morning the boat crossed to Statia for a day of diving in the Statia Marine Park.  Dives were done at Double Wreck, Barracuda Reef, Wreck City and the Ledges.  Once everyone was up from the night dive, Caribbean Explorer II headed departed Statia and headed to St. Kitts, arriving just after midnight.  The rest of the week was spent diving at St. Kitts, visiting the sites Paradise Reef, Anchors Away, Taw River and Ye Olde Anchor. 

Visibility over the week was good at most of the dive sights.  The average water temperature was 81F.
