Hole in the Corner

★★★★☆ (61)

A series of large coral encrusted boulders lead to a sand bottom at 22m/75 feet where a variety of hard and soft coral structures are the background for the schools of blue tang and chubs that inhabitant this dive site.

After looking for the soft coral-dwelling bearded fireworm, alleviate the eyestrain by taking a peek into the blue for the occasional spotted eagleray.

Dive Sites Nearby

Scubapro, Stephen Frink

Greer Gut (★4.5)

Peer through the looking glass while ascending to the mushroom shaped Honeycomb Plate Corals and Sunray Lettuce Corals that create this majestic seascape.
Aqualung

Big Rock Market (★3.9)

Easy dive spot. Lots of scientific research going on here, please do not touch anything that you come across as it could interfere with experiments. Some small corals in a largely sponge dominated reef.
Scubapro, Stephen Frink

Tent Reef Deep (★4.5)

This site is a deep patch reef at the end of the Tent Reef system. The small, steep-sided reef is often combined with a visit to the Tent Reef dive site.
Aqualung

Ladder Labyrinth Red (★4.2)

A labyrinth of 10 foot coral and rock ridges just seaward of the mooring provide numerous nooks and crannies for shrimp, crab and lobsters while making it clear how this site was named.
Mares

Babylon, Saba (★4.3)

Welcome to the “Hanging Gardens of Babylon“ (or so Saba’s original divemasters thought), check out the cave under one of the many dramatic overhangs for up-close encounters with Glassy Sweepers and Channel Clinging Crabs.
Mares

Customs House (★4.4)

This reef is often described as a “loaf of bread“ for its distinctive rectangular shape. The sloping reef starts with a fabulous sandy area, home to garden eels and both southern and roughtail Stingrays.
Mares, Janez Kranjc

Coral Nursery (★4.1)

Site of the Saba Conservation Foundation Coral Nursery. There are more than a dozen coral “trees“ here that are propagation various species of coral, mainly staghorn corals. Diving only permitted here with SCF or SCF permission. Sandy bottom around 16 meters / 50 feet deep.
Mares

Man O War Shoal (★4.3)

Just east of Diamond Rock, this similarly steep rock structure lies in the sandy bottom at 70 feet with twin peaks rising to 15-20 feet from the surface. A multi-level dive profile works best here by circumnavigating the base and slowly spiraling upwards between the two peaks in a figure eight fashion.
Mares

Diamond Rock (★4.4)

Saba’s famous landmark sits on a flat, sandy bottom at 80 feet. Circumnavigation near the bottom provides excellent opportunities to see Southern Stingrays and Furry Sea Cucumbers in the sand.
