Hangover: Statia boat dive with lava flows and coral overhangs.
Boat access in St. Eustatius' marine reserve, with lava-flow terrain, overhangs, and strong reef life; comfortable on an open-water route.
About Hangover
Hangover is a boat dive in St. Eustatius' marine reserve, built around ancient lava flows, coral-encrusted overhangs, and a maze-like reef route. The site mixes sandy patches with healthy coral, sponges, and a lot of fish life, while sharks, turtles, rays, and spiny lobsters keep the bigger sightings interesting. It works best on a calm boat day when buoyancy and route choice stay easy to manage.
