From the Back Cover

Each island is so different it is impossible to generalise about this area, but there is something to suit every taste. From the French islands expect French food, chic boutiques and relaxed diving. The Dutch islands got lucky when they handed out the diving - Saba acknowledged as a world-class dive destination, Statia a well kept secret, and St. Maarten a mecca for vacationers. The independent (erstwhile British) islands have stunning bone white beaches interspersed with fascinating historical sites and many wreck dives.
