We planning our upcoming trip in March, and I've been reading about snorkeling near Saba Rock. We've gone into Eustatia Sound and found the cannons and anchor, but it sounds like there might be a good snorkel spot off the backside of Saba Rock?
Anyone have any experience snorkeling near Saba Rock? Capt Andy - We were searching for those cannons yesterday. Can you describe where they are?

There's a snorkeling spot along the reef running from Saba east toward Oil Nut....called "Jardines de Coral" on my chart. We were there a couple days ago before the big swells started. There is also a reef on the north side of Eustatia Sound running west from Eustatia Is that is good for snorkeling. They can be accessed via dinghy from the Saba anchorage or you can anchor your boat pretty close in calm seas.

Take your dinghy past Saba Rock into Eustatia Sound. Head toward the reef about 1/2? mile East of Eustatia Island. There should be a white mooring ball that you can tie up to. The cannons are in about 10 feet of water. When you find the first one, the other is 30 or 40 feet away. Thank you!
