Two Liveaboard Itineraries
In the Northeastern Caribbean, we have 2 itineraries, depending on the week you choose to dive with us. We depart alternate weeks from St. Maarten and St. Kitts. If you choose a charter that begins in St. Maarten, the charter will end in St. Kitts and you will fly home from there. If you choose a charter that begins in St. Kitts, the charter will end in St. Maarten and that will be your return location.
Days aboard the vessel generally involve breakfast from 7 to 8 am (cold breakfasts are available for late risers), followed by two-morning dives, lunch at 12:30 pm, two afternoon dives, dinner at 6:30 pm, and a night dive (we offer up to 27 dives per week including up to 5 night dives – weather permitting). Island tours will be arranged at each island visited for those interested; further island access is available daily upon request. Please note that these itineraries are examples only, and will change depending on weather and logistics at the Captain’s discretion.

Dive the Northeastern Caribbean
Saba, the Unspoiled Queen, is known for its offshore pinnacles and deep underwater seamounts. The 5 square mile top of a dormant volcano, it towers 3,000 feet (914.4 m) above the surface surrounded by warm volcanic sand. The abrupt and jagged topography above the sea is mirrored below, with dramatic dive sites and a profusion of marine life that attests to the early institution of the Saba Marine Park ‘SMP’ in 1987. Saba is Caribbean diving at its best. Favorite dive sites include Diamond Rock, Man O’War Shoals, Custom’s House, Tent Wall, Tent Reef, Ladder Labyrinth, Torren’s Point, and Third Encounter (The Needle/Eye of the Beholder). Common marine life sightings include curious nurse sharks, reef sharks, turtles, lobster, eels, and for the lucky divers eagle rays, sea horses, and batfish.
St. Kitts offers arguably the widest variety of sites including finger reefs, recent wrecks, and a variety of coral labyrinths that will capture your imagination. Top dive sites include Monkey Shoals, Anchors Aweigh, Paradise Reef, Wreck of the Corinthian, and the most popular Wreck of the River Taw. The MV River Taw is continually voted as a favorite dive site among guests due to its vibrant coral growth and the surge of macro-life activity on the night dives. Photographers should be sure to bring their macro-lenses as in St Kitts you can often spot frogfish, sea horses, and other marine life that’s considered rare in the Caribbean!
