S.T.E.N.A.P.A. ReefOne of the largest artificial reef sites in this region built by the St Eustatius national parks association, made up of many individual pieces of wreckage that have been submerged for various periods of time, allowing us to see the progression of coral and sponge growth. One of the barges has several entrances to allow for light penetration diving. A favorite site of our many large southern stingrays and visiting divers!
Bluebead HoleIf you haven't heard about blue beads this is something special in statia. The beads were made in Europe out of blue glass and were used to reward slaves in the seventeenth century . Beads are the only artifacts visitors are allowed to keep. In a certain area of the harbor divers have found quite a few of them . This site is mostly a sandy bottom with occasional stones. Blue bead or not you will enjoy some different marine creatures than you would normally see on the reef like the peacock flounder or the amazing flying gurnard.
