About Inner Jenkins Bay
Inner Jenkins Bay is a sheltered Statia snorkel bay in the marine park, reached by boat and handled through local dive shops. Its shallow water, moorings, and protected-bay setting make it a relaxed stop for easy Caribbean snorkeling and low-stress surface time rather than a deep-wreck day. The appeal is simple: calm access, reef life, and a manageable bay visit that works well for mixed-experience groups.

This is more of a shallow, relaxed dive than a dramatic wall or wreck. It suits easy check-out style underwater time if a guide wants to include it.
Freediving
