» Saint Eustatius, Netherlands Antilles General Information
St. Eustatius, or Statia as she is affectionately known, was born of two volcanoes which anchor the island on each end. Today Statia is a small, tranquil, hidden little corner of the Dutch Netherland Antilles, nestled south of St. Maarten in between her Dutch sister island of Saba and St. Kitts.
Statia has diving life like no other destination in the Caribbean. The warm water and the underwater volcanic fissures and canyons have given this area a diversified diving selection.
One can dive past coral and sponge covered walls and pinnacles with dramatic backdrops of visual delights. These walls are frequented by black rip sharks, eagle rays and larger fish varieties.
The fish life is abundant with a few rarer species like the flying gurnards, high hats and jack-knife fish making daily showings. Hundreds of critters make their home in numerous cracks and ledges. This is truly a photographer's paradise.
St. Eustatius has always recognized its nature and marine life is one of its most valuable assets. The St. Eustatius National Parks Foundation, known locally as Stenapa is managing many ecotourism initiatives.
