Boat dive on a volcanic pinnacle in Saba; plan for strong current, a sandy base, and a canyon route with sharks and jacks.
About Diamond Rock
Diamond Rock is a volcanic pinnacle off Saba that rises from a sandy base and wraps into a multi-level canyon route on the northeast side. The dive mixes a sandy circle near the bottom with a slower spiral through the rock, where sharks, horse-eye jacks, stingrays, and dense reef life gather around the walls. It suits experienced divers who are comfortable with current and want a classic Saba profile with strong structure and clear water.
