Dive Spot Guide•
Double Wreck
Statia wreck reef with turtles, rays, and macro.
A short Statia boat ride reaches a shallow archaeological reef with coral-encrusted debris, sand flats, and easy macro hunting.
About Double Wreck
Double Wreck is a shallow Statia archaeological reef where little of the original ships remains, but coral-encrusted ballast stones, old anchors, sand flats, and nearby seagrass still make the site feel like a living wreck-and-reef mix. It is best for relaxed exploration and macro hunting, with turtles, stingrays, seahorses, and frogfish carrying most of the interest.
