Babylon Cordis is a reef and cave site located 500 metres offshore in the Tent Reef Area of Saba. The site features hard coral formations that slope down to depths between 14 and 24 metres. The primary attraction is the cave entrance, which provides an overhead environment at the deeper end of the site. Divers should note that visibility ranges from 10 to 30 metres, and light levels inside the cave are variable. Water temperatures remain consistent between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius. Access is by boat only, and the site is suited for intermediate divers. A torch is recommended for the cave sections, and divers must remain within their certification limits.

Regardless of your cave experience, stay well within the limits of your open-water certification and do not push deeper into the cave than you can see natural light. A dive shop on site can advise on current conditions and whether overhead sections are suitable on the day.
