Reply #4: Saba is my idea of diving heaven. [View All]

[Divernan]

If I could only dive one place the rest of my life it would be Saba. It's so great because the entire surrounding sea is a marine sanctuary, and there are no big cruise ships stopping or resorts sending pollution into the sea. Nothing like the thrill of taking off from the Saba airport - like going off an aircraft carrier. My personal depth record - 134 feet (very briefly) at Eye of the Needle. Had a fantastic drift dive there too. We dove off the Cuan Law. Did you stay on island and use a local dive shop? If so, which one and would you recommend it?

I haven't been to Palau or Yap, but dove the wrecks of Truk Lagoon - and that lagoon was very healthy and crammed with fish .

Last year we dove Montserrat - magnificent island with great people - and very interesting diving, but lousy viz because of ash in the water. The Bat Cave dive was a unique experience.
