Dependable Equipment
Sea Saba equipmentSea Saba has been in operation since 1985. We are proud to say that in 25 years of operation,  we have never missed a day of diving due to a mechanical or technical problem.  Our expertise at conducting preventative maintenance to our equipment and upgrading items when necessary is something our clients count on. There is neither a marine supply store nor a marine service center to call on the island.  Instead, we are self sufficient with an extensive workshop of tools, equipment, spare parts, and, of course, the know how to get the job done.

With over 30 years of diving and industry experience, John keeps Sea Saba ticking behind the scenes. John is a Bauer-certified compressor technician with over 20 years experience.  He services not only Sea Saba's compressors but the compressors in this area of the Caribbean.  Our custom made filtration system assures Sea Saba's divers the finest quality air (O2 compatible) and consistent nitrox fills. Besides graduating the School of Hard Knocks with honors, John is also a factory-certified technician for both Caterpillar and Detroit Diesel engines, the engines in Giant Stride and Sea Dragon, respectively as well as the island's welder and fabricator. Having the ability to repair and maintain our own equipment means less down time and more assurance to you that your safety and good time are our priority.
