About this site
Barracuda is a dive site off St. Eustatius, the small Dutch island in the northern Leeward Islands of the Caribbean, sitting between Saint Kitts and Saba. The site lies over reef structure typical of this volcanic stretch of the eastern Caribbean, with corals including boulder star, lettuce, mustard hill, mountainous star, and symmetrical brain coral noted here. Divers have also reported Atlantic blue tang, Brazilian ocean surgeonfish, and redband parrotfish moving over the reef.
