Dive StatiaPopular Diving SitesDOUBLE WRECK, a popular dive site, consists of two corralized shipwrecks in 60 feet of water. The ships lay tip to tip surrounded by hundreds of schooling grunts, snappers, and other curious fish including the flying gurnard. Large barracuda guard the upper waters while spotted morays and southern sting rays patrol the depths below. The unexplainable abundance of fish near these wrecks inspires thoughts of how marine life "used to be" in other popular dive sites around the world.
HANGOVER REEF, where permits, horse-eye jacks and other speedy open water fish can be found surrounding this colorful reef. This shallow, 45-60 foot reef is covered with a variety of sponges, anemones and sea fans and a colorful assortment of hard coral, including pillar, knuckle, brain, sheet and staghorn. The many cracks, crevices and undercuts in this are home to hundreds of species of fish such as spotted drums and high hats. Even the elusive longlure frogfish and longsnout seahorse can be observed here. Be sure to bring your camera and plenty of film!
