Comments	This is a must do trip if you are in St Martins or any other close by Caribbean island, St Barts, Nevis etc. and not just for the diving. This island is a step back in time, a magical place. The folks at Sea Saba could not have been any more helpful. Don't expect wrecks here but a different kind of reef and deeper pinnacle (sea mount) diving. Large roomy boats Captained and crewed by some of the best divers in the Caribbean their knowledge and enthusiasm will insure a great diving experience. Conditions were not the best while I was there, very windy everyday but they always found a lee or tried to! Never repeated a dive site regardless. I would not recommend this island for novice divers unless conditions are calm and flat so check the forecasts ahead of time.
