Comments	Saba Deep made diving very easy and enjoyable. We never touched our equipment. They anticipated problems and had backups for everything. Short boat rides also made diving easy. We dove for 6 days, usually 3 dives per day. We were free to do what we wanted under the water, which was great. However, I would have liked the divemaster to point out some of the more hidden treasures at each site. Also, we were disappointed that they really don't do night dives. All the dive sites were in excellent condition and the coral and fish life was plentiful. On our last day, we found a coralhead with 2 octopus looking out. We got some great photos and it was definately a highlight of the week. Also, each dive site was different than the next. Topside, Saba is a mountain that arose out of the ocean and its amazing that people can live here. However, everyone we spoke to, and every was very friendly, loved living here.
