Saba is a beautiful island with some wonderful diving. I have to admit, when we arrived to our hillside cottage, I was worried that we may get bored topside. However, we found some great restaurants and walking trails. It is a very safe and friendly island with low crime. The downside is lack of any beach. We would meet up at the dive shop in town, load up into a van, then drive on a hairpin road to the marina. The flight to St. Martin is long, which may limit your connection to Saba. The main issue I have with returning, is assuring that I get a connecting flight in the same day. If your wife is happy hiking, reading a book or birding, Saba would be a great choice. Otherwise as @Scott from LongIsland said, she may get bored.
St. Vincent has a lot to offer topside. The water and topography are stunning. We stayed close to the marina and had some good restaurants to choose from. The town of Kingstown was not a place I would stay. I found the lodging and diving to be a bit more $$ than other destinations. In order to ensure the once a week flight, we stayed overnight in Miami the night before. We also had to stay in Miami on the way back. $$$. I feel St. Vincent has the healthiest coral in the Caribbean places that I have visited. The people were wonderful the the day trip to Bequia was magical. I would like to return and spend a couple of nights in Bequia.
I am hoping to visit Dominica soon. I keep hearing stories about vacations getting cancelled due to flight issues and again, the limited flights. I have a friend who loved Tobago. It looks lush topside and has some good diving. That is on the radar as well.
