  The Complete Diving Guide : The Caribbean (Vol. 2) - St. Maarten, Anguilla, St. Barts, Saba, St. Eustatia (Statia), St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua, Guadeloupe  
Each island is so different it is impossible to generalise about this area, but there is something to suit every taste. From the French islands expect French food, chic boutiques and relaxed diving. The Dutch islands got lucky when they handed out the diving - Saba acknowledged as a world-class dive destination, Statia a well kept secret, and St. Maarten a mecca for vacationers. The independent (erstwhile British) islands have stunning bone white beaches interspersed with fascinating historical sites and many wreck dives.

Navassa island

This uninhabited island was claimed by the US in 1857 for its guano. Mining took place between 1865 and 1898. The lighthouse, built in 1917, was shut down in 1996 and administration of Navassa Island transferred from the Coast Guard to the Department of the Interior. A 1998 scientific expedition to the island described it as a unique preserve of Caribbean biodiversity; the following year it became a National Wildlife Refuge.

It's a big yacht haven, drawing hundreds of boats to its tiny harbours.

Sint Maarten [ Dutch ]

 Sint Maarten  -  Official St Maarten Site
St. Maarten is the smallest Island in the world to be shared by two sovereign governments-namely the Dutch and French. The Dutch side, with Philipsburg as its capital occupies the southern 17 square miles of this 37 -square-mile island; St. Martin, a French dependency, occupies the northern half. The dual nationality adds variety to this most unique of island gems in the Caribbean Sea. Both Dutch St. Maarten and French St. Martin have maintained a peaceful coexistence for over 350 years, the longest of any two bordering nations. The two territories have enjoyed harmonious relations through their history and have shared the prosperity of many years without dispute.

The cultural diversity of St. Maarten springs from its historical role as a crossroads for visitors to the New World. Dutch, French and British traders brought European traditions, while the Africans brought the language and culture of West Africa.

In the north, the Greater Antilles are composed of 4 islands : Cuba, Jamaica, Haïti and Puerto Rico
In the south are to be found Trinity and Tobago and the Windward Islands.
Between the two, the Lesser Antilles constitute the eastern part of the arc and stretch from the Virgin Islands to Grenada.
In the middle of that arc is located Martinique, surrounded in the north by Dominica and in the south by Saint Lucia.
