Saba Marine Park:

Saba National Marine Park (SMP) was established in 1987 with the objective to preserve and manage Saba's marine resources. The SMP circles the entire island from the high-water mark to a depth of 60 m (200 feet), including the seabed and overlying waters. A system of permanent mooring buoys facilitates diving and prevents damage to corals.

Marine Life:

Grey reef shark Sharks have been feared and exploited for centuries, but as leader of the food chain it is important that we understand their role in marine ecosystems.
Shark encounters occur frequently in Saba, especially around The Pinnacles. Nurse sharks and Black-tip reef sharks are the most common species, but Grey reef sharks, Bull sharks, and Hammerhead sharks can also be seen. Hawksbill turtle Sea turtle populations are declining throughout the Caribbean. Domestic and international laws have been established to protect these endangered species. In Saba, Hawksbill and Green turtles are the most common. The turtles find good feeding grounds around the island. The SMP minimizes impact on sea grass beds, the Green turtles' favorite food, by requesting yachts to utilize moorings or anchor in deeper waters only.
Seahorse sightings are considered to be an incredible find among divers. The presence of this unique sea creature is not only a great tourist attraction, but it also signals the healthiness of the ecosystem, coral reef, and supporting seabed. The two species found in Saba are the Long snout seahorse and Lined seahorse.
Tiger grouper The grouper is an excellent indicator species for fishing impact; the larger they are, the less pressure from fishing exists. In Saba, groupers are often found in the deep waters around The Pinnacles. Nassau grouper and Tiger grouper are the most common species sighted.

Third Encounter Dive Site:

Located at the eastern end of the horseshoe shaped seamount, this dive can be done conducted completely on top of the plateau or with a short trip out into the deep blue to the tip of the "Eye of the Needle" rises majestically up from the deep to 90 ft. It's common to encounter large Blacktip Sharks and Yellowtail Snappers along the edge of the outcrops where the plankton rich water reaches the plateau and schools of shallow reef fish abound.
Certification level recommended: advanced
Mooring depth: 95 feet/28 m
Boat ride: approx. 12 minutes
Recommended maximum depth: 110 feet/33m
Snorkeling: no
Mt Scenery: Stone and concrete steps -- 1,064 of them -- rise to the top of Mt. Scenery. En route to the mahogany grove at the summit, the steps pass giant elephant ears, ferns, begonias, mangoes, palms, and orchids; there are six identifiable ecosystems in all. The staff at the trail shop in Windwardside can provide a field guide. Have your hotel pack a picnic lunch, wear nonslip shoes, and take along a jacket and a canteen of water. The round-trip excursion will take about three hours and is best begun in the early morning.

Hell's Gate:

The Road makes 14 hairpin turns up more than 1,000 vertical feet to Hell's Gate. Holy Rosary Church, on Hell's Gate's Hill, is a stone structure that looks medieval but was built in 1962. In the community center behind the church, village ladies sell their Saba lace wares.
The same ladies make the potent rum-based Saba Spice, each according to her old family recipe. The intrepid can venture to Lower Hell's Gate, where the Old Sulphur Mine Walk leads to bat caves (with a sulfuric stench) that can -- with caution -- be explored.

Holy Rosary Church:

The main landmark in Hell's Gate is the Holy Rosary Church, a seemingly old stone church despite the fact it was built in the late 20th century.
Behind the church, Hell's Gate Community Centre sells the best collection of Saba lace on the island as well as bottles of homemade Saba Spice liqueur.
