Diving in Statia 2018 - Saint Eustatius
This is the short version of our vacation to Sint Eustatius, aka STATIA, the Golden Rock of the Caribbean. Incredible people, fantastic nature, beautiful, relaxed and amazing dives, including the massive Charles Brown wreck and the incredible night dive with Turtles on the Chien Tong wreck. There were so many good feelings that we have never felt our ten days boring. We are very grateful to the awesome professionals and truly friendly Golden Rock Dive Center staff, who worked very hard to give us the best that Statia has to offer!
