November 2006 Saba is a great place, very tidy and pretty, great diving and hiking. Visability a bit less than normal when we visited due to unusally heavy rain fall just before we arrived. Dived with SeaSaba - very well run, organised yet relaxed. Really great team of staff - learnt to dive with them and they couldn't have been more helpful. Great diving for novice and experienced alike.

July 2005 Great place to spent your dive vacation. Friendly people and professional service. Sba Divers staff is very experienced and nice. They always went the extra step for us. The hotel is beautiful in a nice Caribbean and unique Saba style. The view from the good restaurant is simply magic.

September 2004 Dove with Sea Saba- they were wonderful. I would go with the Ferry- WinAir sucks. Luggage won't make it because they are such small planes. Had to end up renting equipment because our luggage was stuck in St. Maartin. Diving was awesome- soooo much better than the more populated and destroyed reefs of the other islands. Saba is still pristine and there was a lot to see. Can't wait to go back!

May 2005 A Beautiful Island, both above and below water. I was a day tripper from St. Maarten on the Edge ferry which was a great way to arrive,plenty of room for kit, but it did limit my day to two dives. An alternative would be to arrive by plane early and return by ferry. The Island is beautiful and fully deserves to be explored in its own right.The colours below water were absolutely stunning. Didn't see any Sharks or Rays but apparently they were in the area in the morning. The quantity/size and colours of reef fish more than made up for this though. Spectacular !

August 2004 One of our best dive vacations, thanks to the wonderful island hospitality and beautiful scenery. We stayed at the Gate House with the Job's and were made to feel right at home. The gourmet meals were creative and delicious. Diving with Saba Deep was also a special experience. This shop does it right...tons of experience, personalized service, three dives a day...you just can't go wrong. Say Hi to 'Big Mike' and 'Little Mike' for us when you visit.

June 2005 Beautiful island with great diving. We didn't see the large schools of fish we have seen elsewhere, but there were a lot of HUGE individuals. Colors of coral and sponges very vibrant. The island was very clean and friendly. Very eco-oriented with slide shows and lectures in the evenings.

May 2005 Very laid back atmosphere, off the beaten path. Not many tourists, no cruise ships. Island is pristine with very clean and picturesque villages. The people are friendly, one drove us to our cottage from the grocery store when they saw how much we had to carry. Good food at good prices. Diving was up there with the best I've seen in the Carribean. Deep pinnacles are interesting, but we actually enjoyed some of the intermediate pinnacles like Man o War Shoals and Diamond Rock more. Other than diving and hiking, not much else to do on the island. Sea Saba was outstanding and took care of everthing including dealing with WinAir. If you want you to arrive with your luggage and travel on the days and times you reserved, I recommend the Ferry (The Edge) over unreliable WinAir airlines. We never used the ferry, but the folks that did seemed to have much better luck.
