Is a diamond with F color and S11 Clarity good or not?

No one can judge 'good' for you: that's a personal decision. F colour on a diamond is toward the high-end of the desirable colour scale -- D colour being the highest grade in that category. SI1 means that there is one Significant Inclusion in the stone -- Flawless or Internally Flawless being the highest grade in the clarity category. You do not indicate the carat weight or the cut, both of which will help you evaluate 'good' on your own scale. For an investment-quality diamond, unless the stone is more than about three carats, its clarity rating can diminish its value. Buying this diamond from a retailer may mean that you will never recover your original cost, since diamond retailers usually mark up diamonds in the 300% range.
