About this site
Saba Island (USVI) is a tiny rock located south of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, not to be confused with the Dutch island of Saba. The site is noted for its particularly pristine condition relative to other dives in the territory.
The reef runs from 40 ft (12 m) at its shallowest to 80 ft (24 m) at depth, with a bottom type of reef and a maximum recorded depth of 24.1 m. The site is rated intermediate to advanced in difficulty.
The reef supports healthy stands of elkhorn and staghorn corals, and Caribbean reef sharks are regularly encountered here. Visibility is great, and water temperature ranges from 23°C in cooler periods to 26–29°C in warmer months, with diving available year-round.
