Comments	No mosquitoes and No no see ums- what else do you need to know?!! Lynn, the co-owner of Sea Saba, welcomed us on arrival with a warm-hearted and very informative description of her operations. Then things got even better. Sea Saba's service is shown by two examples: 1) every single dive plan ended with the comment "dive your own profile, but please stay within your no-deco limits, and we will be in the water for you to lead you to the boat"; and 2) one day 8 divers were at the dock and Sea Saba split us into two separate groups, taking out both large boats (each with a freshwater rinse- yea!), in order to ensure that the experienced divers went to the "power sites," while the newer divers could be more shallow. It was amazing to me that they were willing to spend money on extra fuel to serve their different divers' needs. Diving on the Pillars, Diamond Rock and Man 'o war was as close to big ocean pacific diving as you can get. Absolutely pristine coral because of their 80+ depths, protected from storms. The coral underhangs of Tent Wall, because of their inverted slope, had zero storm-settled sand on them, and were stunning in their variety. One of the shallow 3rd dives, Labyrinth, was a bit too sandy/rocky for my taste, but it still had a huge variety of nursery and Caribbean life, just like all of the sites in this marine park. On a 3rd dive site, Torrens Point, my wife and I were led by wonderfully friendly Kelly through some absolutely magical shallow swim throughs. Excellent accomodations choices (I recommend a stand alone cottage for couples) and a variety of quality stand-alone restaurant choices are all available. Hiking in the jungles is fantastic. Every morning started with a "check in" question from Sea Saba mgmt- "What can we do to help you enjoy yourselves today?" and every dive day ended with a similar debrief. This was an incredibly enjoyable trip, on a fascinating, peaceful and safe island, with an amazing level of concierge service from Lynn and Sea Saba.
