Saba, Netherlands March 2019

Saba (pronounced SAY-buh) is known as the Unspoiled Queen of the Caribbean – “unspoiled” perhaps, because there are no beaches there. I mean even Columbus saw it and passed it by!  But it is a beautiful little island southeast of Puerto Rico, near St. Maarten.  There is basically one winding road on the island (imaginatively called “The Road”), and there is an airport, with the distinction of having the world’s shortest runway.  The population is only around 1500 (of which 1/3 are medical students!). We stayed on shore, but had two dives a day.  I am still finding my “sea legs” on underwater photography, but I did get some useful images.  There were many underwater cliffs covered with corals and other creatures, not to mention the occasional tunnel.
