WHERE ARE WE GOING? If you’ve never heard about this small\, undiscovered island in the Caribbean\, it’s only because it’s a well kept secret. Unaffected by mass tourism\, St. Eustatius (aka “Statia”) is not your average Caribbean island. Imagine the Caribbean of 25 or 30 years ago and you will get close. It is part of the Dutch Caribbean\, which consists of Aruba\, Bonaire\, Curacao\, Saba\, Sint Eustatius\, and Sint Maarten. They are referred to as the Caribbean Netherlands. WHY Statia? St. Eustatius is known worldwide for having some of the most pristine waters and reefs in the Caribbean. We’ll explore some of the 36 official dive sites around St. Eustatius with the PADI 5 Star Scubaqua Dive Center – just a stone’s throw from the Old Gin House hotel. The diving opportunities are diverse with several unique habitats including walls\, historic wrecks\, reefs\, macro dive sites\, lava flows\, boulders and rock outcroppings. THE DIVING The reefs surrounding Statia are flourishing in a protected Marine Park. Underwater\, you will experience what much of the Caribbean must have looked like many years ago. The volcano\, The Quill\, dominates the island and is responsible for the huge amounts of lava flows and blocks under the surface. These old labyrinths of lava are now fully overgrown with coral and sponges. Combine these reefs with numerous historical dive sites and more recent wrecks and you’ve got yourself a divers paradise. Scubaqua’s 2 “state of the art” dive boats will take us on our 2 -tank morning boat dives so we can experience 10 of the 36 fabulous dive sites around the island. We’ll choose from several of the underwater archaeological sites and coral-covered shipwrecks. One site in particular\, called ‘Blue Bead Hole’\, is iconic. The blue beads found here are of historical significance to St. Eustatius. They were used as currency for enslaved people in the 17th century. The beads are the only artifacts divers are allowed to bring to the surface. THE HOTEL We’ll be escaping to the charming Old Gin House Hotel\, in its prime oceanfront location. This historic UNESCO hotel has a restaurant and a lounge terrace on the waterfront\, where you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset. Relax with a cocktail and enjoy the Island life of St. Eustatius. The hotel has an authentic old-world charm. Dating back to the 18th century\, the Old Gin House Hotel has been expertly restored\, taking inspiration from its colonial roots. They have a small private beach and a swimming pool in the tropical garden. You’ll enjoy life\, as you enjoy The Old Gin House. Breakfast is included in our plan. The Old Gin House restaurant has a gourmet restaurant for lunch and dinner as well as other options we’ll be exploring. DATES AND FLIGHTS The trip will take place from 7-14 February 2026.
