Overall Rating

Excellent staff at Sea Saba, Lynn runs a top notch dive operation.  They
really make you feel like you're in good hands.  The dive boat was never
over crowded (usually 4 divers plus crew).  Dive guides gave detailed
briefings before each dive, were aware of experience level of all divers. 
Kudos to Guy, Leeda, Alex, Bruno and Marcel.

What to see: lots of healthy corals and sponges, excellent macro life, and
of course the famous pinnacles of Saba.  Keep in mind that althought the
"Needle" is at 90ft, the "Eye of the Needle" is at
160ft, so you cannot dive through it.  Saw sharks, turtles, stingrays,
nudibranchs, eels, squid, scorpionfish and jellyfish.  Did not see any
seahorses, but they are out there.

Recommend staying in Winwardside, which is where we stayed.  The Evemarie
Cottage is right across from the Brigadoon (with tasty meals from chef
Michael), and within walking distance to the market.  Save a couple of days
for hiking in the rainforest.  It's well worth it.
