April 23 - 30, 2011

Join Steve & Ryan on this greatly anticipated Blackbeard's liveaboard!

Nassau departures explore the Exuma Cays of the Land and Sea Park! Dive these remote uninhabited islands and experience truly pristine diving euphoria! We are the only ones out there so no crowded beat up dive sites. We've got swift drifts between the cays that are magnificent and fast! Go down on the wall of the Exuma Sound- we've got reefs at all depths that have more fish life, larger schools of fish and great coral too! We'll offer a thrilling shark dive on the site we all know as Amberjack Reef, home to over a dozen reef sharks and giant grouper that home in on the feeding frenzy each week! Besides all the great stuff you can see while blowing bubbles, there are tons of topside eco adventures indigenous to this area too! Snorkel Shroud Cay thru Camp Driftwood, see the iguanas on Allen's Cay, snorkel the plane that crashed next to the drug king Leder's private estate on Norman's...and so much more! Don't wait to reserve your space on our Nassau departures!

There is no fixed schedule. The Captain will vary the itinerary to take advantage of the best weather and diving conditions. We'll traverse the northern end of the Exuma Cays in search of great conditions with nights anchored offshore one of the many islands. The last night of the trip will be spent in Nassau with a great shore adventure that you can enjoy with your new buddies!

We will be sailing on either the Pirate's Lady, Morning Star or Sea Explorer dive sailboats. Each boat can carry up to 24 passengers. Single & double berths in fully air-conditioned cabins will assure a peaceful night's sleep. These are not private cabins, rather more like dormitories. Each vessel is crewed with two captains, a dive instructor, engineer and cook. The incredible variety of diving paired with the camaraderie you will develop among your fellow passengers combined with the low price are why Blackbeard's slogan is "Twice the Fun, Half the Cost".

The diving in the Bahamas is fun and diverse. You can expect to see a variety of reef fish, shipwrecks, sharks, turtles, eels, and much more. Fun for the whole family!
