Saba diving - enjoy distinctive feeling
Circling the entire island and including four offshore underwater mountains (seamounts), the Saba Marine Park, Fort Bay, preserves the island's coral reefs and marine life. The park is zoned for various pursuits. The all-purpose recreational zone includes Well's Bay Beach, Saba's only beach, but it's seasonal, disappearing with the winter seas only to reappear in late spring. There are two anchorage zones for visiting yachts and Saba's only harbor. The five dive zones include a coastal area and four seamounts, 2km (1 1/4 miles) offshore. In these zones are more than two dozen marked and buoyed dive sites and a snorkeling trail. You'll plunge into a world of coral and sponges, swimming with parrotfish, doctorfish, and damselfish. Sea Saba Dive Center, Windwardside, has nine experienced instructors eager to share their knowledge of Saba Marine Park and its famous deep and medium-depth pinnacles, walls, spur-and-groove formations, and giant boulder gardens. Their two 12m (39-ft.), uncrowded boats are best suited for a comfortable day on Saba's waters. Daily boat dives are made between 9:30am and 1:30pm, allowing a relaxing interval for snorkeling. Courses range from resort through dive master. Extra day and night dives can be arranged. A one-tank dive costs $50, a two-tank dive $90. Saba Deep Dive Center, P.O. Box 22, Fort Bay, Saba, N.A. is a full-service dive center that offers scuba diving, snorkeling, equipment rental/repair, and tank fills. Mike Myers and his staff of NAUI and PADI instructors and dive masters make an effort to provide personalized service and great diving, whether you're an old pro or a first-timer. A certification course goes for $400. A single-tank dive costs $60; a two-tank dive, $110. Night dives are $75. The center is open daily from 8am to 5pm. On the same property, the In Two Deep Restaurant and the Deep Boutique offer air-conditioned comfort, a view of the harbor area and the Caribbean Sea, good food and drink, and a wide selection of clothes, swimwear, lotions, and sunglasses. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch.
