Comments	Saba is somewhat different, being a volcanic island with coral encrusted rock rather than true coral reefs. There are not casinos or beaches. Saba Deep is pure valet diving; hand over equipment before the first dive, don't touch it between dives and they drop it off rinsed and dry after the last dive. Due to calms winds we dove on the windwardside and found Core Gut to be a fantastic wall site. As well the various pinnacles are a unique experience. Attitude of Saba Deep was very pleasant and they are clearly running a shop for individuals/small groups who love to dive. Boat returns to dock in between dives (3 dives per day). They were happy going out with only the two of us. Orchid Cottage at Juliana's in Windwardside makes for a pleasant home and it was nice to have Tropics right next store for food. We also did take away from some of the local restaurants. Saba is a great place for a very relaxed diving vacation.
