Comments This was my 3rd trip to Saba. There were some problems including very poor visibility due to a lot of recent rain. The dive crew appeared inexperienced and rather short tempered. The divers became separated from the leaders several times due to the silted conditions and the leaders inattention.
The saddest part to me was apparently how the resort had fallen on hard times with burnt out light bulbs, mildewed curtains and lack of towels. The bathrooms were not cleaned and hot water was scarce.
I have always loved Saba and hope that Juliana's can find a way to recover it's past.
