This was our second trip to Saba. It was better than we remembered. The pinacles were truly spectacular with great viz. Nitrox, a must, increased bottom time and added to the enjoyment. The pinacles are deep. Sightings included sharks, big rays, turtles and schools of jacks. The pinnacles had a large number of fish including schools of tangs feasting on eggs, creating a purple cloud as they closed in. There were some great game fish sightings including a nice sized Wahoo! The pinnacles made for pituresque descents and enjoyable touring. The life on the pinnacles is exciting. Sea Saba does a great job. Lynn leaves you wanting for nothing! They have great new boats that are comfortable, roomy and pretty quick. The food on Saba has improved greatly! There are a number of really good restaurants. Brigadoon leads the charge! Chef Michael creates fantastic dishes. Beth, at Dive Saba, set us up at the Orchid Cottage. It was a beautiful cottage overlooking the ocean in Windwardside. The large porch was great for afternoon lounging. The cottage is part of Julianna's so we also had the use of all the resorts amentities. Saba continues to be one our favorites in the Carribean. |
