Comments	Terrific Caribbean diving. Lots of fish, interesting geological formations (most of them coral-encrusted), very short trips to the dive sites. Saba Deep was great to dive with. Uncrowded, individualized attention (4-6 divers/trip), very flexible re: dive sites. The staff was competent, caring & listened as well as gave advice. Saba itself is also charming. It is not crowded. No beaches or cruise ships; tourists are primarily divers & hikers. We rented a cottage and cooked good meals. There are well-stocked grocery stores with reasonable prices. The island does, however, have fabulous restaurants -particularly Shear Water and Queen's Garden. We'll be back. (Next time I'll bring a few sweaters ... can get a bit chilly at night.)
