About Gilbraltar
Gilbraltar is a far-north Statia boat dive built around a giant rock and a reef-wall profile where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean. The boulder-strewn approach and exposed setting give it a bigger, wilder feel than a sheltered reef, with barracuda, nurse sharks, and deepsea fans on the rock.

Key Hazards
Surge
Safety Notes
Treat the far-north face as an exposed reef-wall dive, keep trim tight over the boulders, and back off if the sea state starts to build.
Access Restrictions
Boat access is the normal plan and the far-north position makes this a conditions-aware run with a local operator.
Legal Notes
Use the marine-park mooring, do not anchor, and keep clear of the rock and boulders.
Local Intel For Gilbraltar
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A boat dive for divers who are comfortable with a reef-wall profile and a bit of open-water exposure.

This is not a freedive-first site; the wall and exposed approach are better handled with scuba and a guide.
Snorkeling
The reef edge may be visible from the surface, but the signature rock and wall profile are mainly a scuba dive.
