Saba Tugboat Wreck at Jan Thiel
The Saba Tugboat is located, between Cornelius Bay and Sandy’s Plateau, just outside the inlet to ‘De Zoutpannen’, otherwise known as the salt pans or salt flats of Jan Thiel.
This dive site is interesting for both divers and snorkelers since the wreck of the Saba Tugboat is situated at a depth of only 12 meters and is fully covered with vegetation. The wheel house is gone and the deck is deteriorating, but it provides reef structure and home for a wide variety of marine life. Blue Chromis, Rock Beauties and other fish have made the Saba their new home.
The drop-off is only a few meters from the wreck where you will find an incredible array of sponges, corals plus the usual suspects like morays, doctor’s fish, glass fish and parrot fish.
Dive Tip: Enter the water and dive along the reef wall to reach the wreck between 5 and 12 meters. You will not be alone with your buddy. Numerous species inhabit the wreck. If you are lucky, you will even encounter seahorses. Due to the location of the Saba tugboat shipwreck, this dive is only accessible by boat.
