Comments Love to dive in Saba. Very different terrain than other islands in the Caribbean such as Cayman Islands, Roatan and Bonaire. Wide variety of marine life. Visibility varies with location. Boats are Newton's. Taxi ride is approximately 20 minutes from town to harbor. Remember to take cash to tip crew and taxi driver (transportation is included) and to purchase a beverage from the dock restaurant. Remember to pack your windbreaker, towel and change of clothes in a dry bag. Bring food, snacks and personal beverages. If you are taking any of your equipment back to your accommodations via the taxi, pack a large plastic trash bag. Taxi drivers do not want wet customers and equipment in their vehicles. There are numerous restaurants with a wide range of prices. Try as many as possible. Best to be vaccinated.

UW Photo Comments I do not like to put my camera in a dip bucket for an extended period of time. If there are many cameras in the bucket, something is likely to break. Rinse and remove.
