Comments	over 2 days - dove 5 tanks - air- The Sea Saba staff were excellent and helpful the whole time -- was fun getting to know them. At the end of your dives Sea Saba gives you a two sided sheet that shows the island on one side with the names and locations of all of the islands dive sights and then all of your personal dives showing dive sites; depths; Guide names;and sightings on the reverse side. If I go back would definitely choose Sea Saba to dive with - picked you up at your hotel and dropped you off on return -- boat had wash down capabilities for you to shower off with a hose and wash off your equipment -- between morning and afternoon dives provided a sandwich and drink - so you did not have to leave the boat at the dock for something to eat -- there were less than 10 divers including staff on any one dive trip -- boat was at least 40 feet so plenty of room for all Dive Masters were Michael; Aaron; Vicky & Caroline -- all were very safety conscious and helpful Deepest dive we took at the pinnacles was 108 feet There is no water system on the island -- so your hotel collects rain water or has water delivered by tanker -- drink bottled water -- Air conditioned rooms are rare as electricity is expensive -- Would rate the dive sights as second in the Caribbean to the Bloodywall dive off of Little Cayman -- would rate the dive shop personnel, boat and facilities as 5 stars!! (We brought all of our own dive gear only needed weights and tanks The island has a few good restaurants and bars -- Chez Bubba and the Highway Bar in Windward are musts for good food and conversation This was one of three islands we dove at on a 12 day trip -- the other two were St Kitts and St Marteen -- Saba is definitely the best of those three

UW Photo Comments	My dive buddy -- who I have know since elementary school and I have dove with since 1972 -- and I used Go Pros so very little added attention needed for cameras
