Scuba divers in the know holiday in the Bahamas and one look at this alluring island reveals just what makes it such a popular Caribbean dive destination. Where else can you dive a Blue Hole one moment only to be followed by an adrenalin pumping shark dive or pristine reef dive next! Or perhaps it is the promise of pirates, treasure and refreshing rum cocktails that brings you to these dazzling blue shores. Scuba Travel have teamed up with Aquacat for a your diving satisfaction. As your liveaboard home for the week, you can not only escape the island tourists but journey into the Exumas national park, where no other daily divers venture. See for yourself a side of the Bahamas that few other scuba divers will experience on a liveaboard holiday in the Caribbean that is head and shoulders above the rest.
Aquatcat was built for your crusing comfort. Her steel hull and wide beam makes light work of the journies between dive sites. She sleeps 22 divers across 11 cabins, all with air con, en suite and hair dryer. Cabins are large by any liveaboard standards but this is not the only area with ample space for relaxing - the salon has plenty of seating for everyone, TV, DVD, a video editing area and photo light table. The dining area is always a hub point, with freshly prepared international and Bahamian dishes served up daily. The al fresco deck is where your first night's welcome BBQ takes place and a great place to relax with fellow divers during your trip. Between dives hop up to the sun deck to catch some rays or relax with a drink at the end of the day. Aquacat even has an on board micro brewery with 3 local beers to try! But it is the dive deck where the real action takes place and there is room to gear up without worrying about elbows! A photo station will suit photographers and videographers alike.
The diving is focused on the most pristine sites in the Caribean, with the Exumas national park being a highlight. Here you can find it all! Drift and wall diving are the order of the day in the mornings, with shallower coral dives in the afternoons. Reef sharks and nurse sharks weave along the sea bed and there is at least one shark feed dive each trip. Turtles chomp down on the soft corals amid giant barrel sponges. Jawfish, lobster, garden eels and jacks abound. The Goliath grouper live up to the name and are simply gargantuan! Between Exumas and Nassau is a Blue Hole, with plunging walls dropping into the abyss - feel the tingle down your spine as you hover above.
