The Bottom

The Bottom is a small coastal area on the island of Saba in the Dutch Caribbean. It lies on the leeward side of the island and offers straightforward access to dive sites around Saba’s southeast coast. The area is best known for its macro-rich reef habitats and clear water conditions typical of this region, with local dive centers operating from nearby towns on Saba to support shore entries and boat dives to nearby sites. While The Bottom itself is a quiet coastal area, divers typically use nearby access points on Saba for shoreline entries and drift dives, depending on weather and sea state. Overall, this locale serves as a gateway to Saba’s subtropical reef and pelagic encounters rather than a standalone, high-density dive hub.
