Saba is a tiny, steep sided Dutch island (the highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands as it happens) in the north-eastern Caribbean, the final tip in the Caribbean island volcanoes. A lack of water run-off and minimal fishing (much of the island has been designated a marine park for several years now) has created excellent protected grounds for fish and other creatures.

In Plakias, there are two diving clubs: one in Plakias and the other one in the neighborhood. The passionate persons of dive will maybe be very interested in this place and to discover new finds.

For information, the temperature of the water is still 24/25 ° C in October!
