SABA: 2022, OCTOBER 8 – 15
DEMA special = 1 free afternoon dive
Come join fellow Under Sea Adventurers on a fabulous journey to the unspoiled queen island of Saba. Previously Saba was most often accessed from a live aboard boat due to the small not easily accessible airport that is widely acknowledged as the smallest airport in the world. Now there is a high speed ferry from St Marteen so we can take a jet and then the ferry. No concerns for the world’s smallest airport or if all baggage makes the flights.
Spend a relaxing week at the Hotel Saba Arawak a brand new deluxe hotel. We have a meal package that includes eating at different local restaurants around the island to support these restaurants and give us a variety of locations and cuisine.
We will be driven from the hotel to the dive boat every morning to experience unspoiled diving with great access.
Divers don’t have to lug gear every day from their rooms or even onto the boat. Your gear will be collected once you arrive and stored at the boat. You set up your gear the first day on the boat and after that, the crew set up your gear and change your tanks for you. When we get to the boat, our gear will be ready to go diving.
Chris will be your trip leader. The trip starts at Miami airport, then to Saint 
Marteen and then the ferry to Saba. Airfare hasn’t been finalized since some airlines aren’t booking for October yet.
