The island's dramatic and rugged above-water topography is replicated underwater, offering divers breathtaking sites and abundant marine life.

When To Go Diving in Saba, St. Kitts & St. Maarten

Water temperature

The best time to go diving in Saba and St. Kitts is typically during the dry season, which spans from December to April. During these months, you can expect calmer seas, better visibility underwater, and generally more pleasant weather conditions, making it ideal for diving. In Saba, the visibility is often excellent throughout the year, but the dry season provides the most consistent diving conditions. Additionally, this period avoids the hurricane season, which runs from June to November. St. Kitts also offers good diving conditions during the dry season. The waters are usually calmer and clearer, enhancing the diving experience. As with Saba, diving outside of the hurricane season is advisable for safety and comfort. However, diving can still be enjoyable outside these months, but you may encounter more variable weather and sea conditions

Saba diving rocks (Caribbean Explorer II)
Good all around experience. Dive staff are knowledgeable, thorough and briefings, plans and execution correct. Some of us occasionally thought the DM wasn't looking back and at a substantial distance; not an issue, just an observation. This is an older, smaller boat but kept clean, tidy and offered all that was needed. Due to the narrow beam its got a fair amount of body roll. Food was outstanding. Rooms are snug but clean and showers seemed to have endless hot water. Free adult beverages was a nice perc. land tours were both fun & educational. I was disappointed that they were out of L & XL T-shirts. from an industry standpoint its annoying that there continues to be a 'fuel surcharge', IMHO - know your overhead and operational expenses and charge a single rate for a trip, without "add-on's" . I had a great time and saw more octopus in this one week than Ive seen in my previous 300 dives combined.

Not enough dive sites (Caribbean Explorer II)
The staff and condition of the ship were very nice. I presumed from the island of St. Kitts to the island of St. Maarten that here would be an abundant number of dive sites. Dive sites on 360 degrees of four islands to choose from upon the weather conditions. There was no storms. The weather cooperated very nicely. Unfortunately we did not dive anywhere near or around either St. Maarten or St. Eustatious. This limited us to just two islands. Dove a couple sites multiple times. The boat was nice, staff was nice but the diving fell short of expectations.

We dove multiple times on the same dive site. (Caribbean Explorer II)
The cabins are a bit cramped. The food was well above average. So far it was the best steak served on a liveaboard that I ate. The boat was only half full which made for a better dinning and diving experience. We dove multiple times on the same dive site. The crew was attentive and fun.
