I don't remember a Sydney offhand. Our boat was lead by Jefferson, and the rest of the on-boat crew was male. In the office/store we met Kim and Luciana. There was another lady with a British accent who I'd put in the high-30s + age range with shorter hair whose name I didn't get - might've been her?

Sba is definitely on the dhort list. Where did you stay?
My wife and I stayed at "El Momo" which is a collection of eco-friendly cottages (read: no air conditioning, no locks (but then no-one locks their home on Saba), room the size of your bed plus about 18 inches on all sides, minimal electrical connections for a couple of lights, no ceiling fan, solar shower in detached outhouse like building, composting toilet...) So if you're into the camping-in-the-rough type stay, this would have been charming, but by the end of 2 nights we spoiled Americans were really missing AC. The people were great, though, so please don't take this as a 'bad' review - its just not quite our cup of tea I guess, especially after diving all day and wanting to get clean/dry.
I've heard good things about all the more 'hotel-like' accomodations on the island though. The Gatehouse is a high-end stay, but way on the airport side so on the far side from Fort Bay. Still, all the dive shops either provide or coordinate taxis for you. Princess Juliana resort is in The Bottoms I think - the other couple we ended up diving with stayed there, and the taxi would pick us up first, then get them, and we were about 10 minutes from Fort Bay at that point (because the road is narrow and switchbacks, not because its 'distant'). There are other places too - the Willard's is really pricey, and I think there's another place called the Cottage Club or something. Just go to Saba's official website and they've got links to almost all the accomodations there.
