Saba

Saba is one of our go-to shallow wreck dives, especially for a second tank. The mooring is just a short boat ride east of Mambo Beach, and you drop right onto the Saba, sitting pretty at only 5m. It’s a small freighter, completely encrusted now, and while it’s not huge, the penetration options are fun, nothing too tight. We love poking around the hold for school bass and those quirky spotted drum, often tucked into shadowy corners. From the wreck, you can drift along a gentle slope, down to about 20m, where the reef runs parallel to the coast. It’s a mix of sand patches and healthy hard coral formations. We’ve had great luck spotting slender filefish in the soft corals near the wreck, and if you have a keen eye, the occasional longsnout seahorse. Visibility here usually sits around 23m, so you get some nice wide-angle shots of the wreck against the blue. There can be a slight current, nothing troublesome, but it helps with a drift. This is a brilliant spot for newer wreck divers or anyone who just wants a relaxed dive with plenty to see without going deep.
