About this site
The Aquarium is an isolated rock outcropping in the northern marine park at Statia, about a 20-minute boat ride away, with a maximum depth of 14 metres (46 feet). It is a beginner site that is a crowd favourite when sea conditions allow.
Small reef fish swarm around the tip of the main rock, and fish of all kinds hide in the many crevices around the site, so lying back feels like being inside a large aquarium. Shy green and hawksbill turtles live here, and several are often seen swimming, grazing or napping. Macro divers can look for the red-tipped sea goddess.
