Moored boat dive with a swim-through, coral-covered anchor, and steady marine life in a protected Caribbean marine park.
About Anchor Point
Anchor Point is a moored Caribbean reef-and-anchor dive in St. Eustatius’ protected marine park. The site mixes a compact swim-through, a historic anchor, and coral-and-sponge-rich reef structure, so the dive feels like a small underwater museum with plenty of fish life and a calm, controlled boat-led rhythm. It is best approached as a tidy moored route that rewards buoyancy, slow pacing, and a local guide who can keep the marine-park rules straight.
