I thought we all agreed not to let the cat out of the bag regarding Saba!!!
First - Saint Maarten - ok diving, love Ocean Explorers, Dominique & Leroy & Richard (freediver, bubble watcher, porter of gear) are very cool, laid back, small personal operation. Find their website or pm me for it to read Leroys account of his great white attck off San Fran in the early 60's. Dominique can also arrange your Saba excursion. Also know Tom Burnett - his crew gave me my first taste of diving when the shop was over in Phillipsburg. A good professional group.
The old wreck you dove, Tom, is the Proselyte. I like this one for the ability to soar up & between the rocks. Who said diving was the closest to flying? Good sea life, some larger pelagics, reef sharks, etc. The huge anchors are really neat there. About 45- 60 feet tops.
What is nice is that if you are traveling with non-divers, the proximity of sites makes it easy to do 2 dives, be home for lunch & spend the rest of the day on the beach or shopping & eating. (OK - I'm a woman, I like to shop, especially jewelry!)
Saba is great. I like Little Mike & Big Mike w/ Saba Deep. Drawback - no beaches, not a lot of restaurants, nightlife, shopping, etc. Pluses - leave your doors unlocked, honor bars, quaint, friendly, and DIVING, DIVING, DIVING. I love the Diamond Rock site. About 90 feet to bottom, last trip water was 82 degrees, sweet! As Doc described, just a circle up & around 2 rocks. Viz 100+, I could read the numbers off the hull @ 90 feet. I trail Big Mike like a puppy - he can spot the largest pelagic or smallest micro life!
As for getting there - either approach air or sea - it's not for the faint of heart! The vomit comet will test your ability to keep down breakfast. Many do not make it. Take your Bonine & ginger ale. Winair - great people, the landing is hairy, at best. Someone had a pic of it at some point here. Do a Saba search.
As for keeping it secret, in October, Leroy French was working with a French gentleman, Theirry, on U/W video he was supposed to be making - one each for SM, Saba & Anguilla.
I get so excited thinking about the Saba diving, I may have to check some prices & book a late spring/early summer trip. Next vacation on the books is Bonaire in Oct & I can't wait that long for some warm water!
