About this site
Third Encounter is a dive site off Saba, a small volcanic island in the Caribbean Netherlands known for its steep underwater pinnacles and seamounts. Saba's sites are mostly reached by boat from Fort Bay, and many of the offshore pinnacles rise from deeper water to within recreational diving range, drawing currents that can attract pelagic species.
