Dive Overview

Scuba divers travel to find three things: dramatic walls, lush coral reefs and exciting animal encounters - and the Bahamas Out Islands offer all this! Warm, turquoise crystal-clear waters and drop-offs close to shore make these islands a diver’s dream. Mysterious blue holes and caverns, shipwrecks and vibrant living reefs, soaring wall dives and thrilling shark encounters all await both novice and experienced divers.

Itinerary Overview

There are 3 itineraries offered: Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park, Best of the Bahamas & Tiger Beach (6-10 Nights).

Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park (7 & 10 NightS)

• 
• Throughout the week aboard the BAHAMAS AGGRESSOR, guests will depart Nassau to explore the dramatic walls, lush coral reefs and exciting animal encounters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. This protected area is one of the world's most successful marine parks with an area of 176 square miles consisting of an array of more than 350 small islands and cays. The crystal-clear tropical Atlantic pours over the deep cuts between the cays and constantly shifting sand bars. Waters are thick with coral reefs that are alive with every imaginable ocean critter from the living jewels – angelfish and butterfly fish – to the charismatic food-chain toppers like grouper and barracuda – right down to the tiniest living invertebrates. Night diving allows guests to experience an entirely different group of critters and bevy of behaviors not visible during the day.

West End Northern Adventure (7 Nights)

Here are the top dive sites that you can visit:

• 
• Hesperes: A shallow wreck covered with schools of Jacks, Snappers, lots of Angelfish, Eels, Groupers, sometimes Cobia, Nurse Sharks and Turtles. Also known as the Stingray Wreck because of the number of Stingrays you can see in the sandy areas around the wreck.
• The Strip: A long strip of coral reef sitting in about 45 feet of water. Schooling Fish, Crabs, Eels and at night usually several Green or Hawksbill Turtles.
• Moray Alley: A large patch reef where you can easily find Crabs, Lobsters, a variety of Marine Life including lots of Eels, mostly Spotted or Goldentail Eels.
• Tuna Alley: A fantastic wall dive where we normally see larger marine life such as Mackerel, African Pompano and some Tuna.
• Turtle Rocks: Shallow Reefs with Colorful Coral Heads. Here we can easily see lots of Groupers, Angelfish, Eels, Wrasses and even a Turtle or two in the later afternoon.
• Sapona: The Sapona is a Wreck sitting off the coast South Bimini. A lot of the structure sits above the water and the underwater parts are covered with Marine Life. Easily see Gobies, Chubs, Grunts, Groupers, Chromis, Angelfish, Mackerel, Turtles and at night Squid and Octopus.
• Bull Run: Three Very Large High Profile Colorful Coral Heads that are located to where there’s a large sandy patch in the center almost like an arena. When swimming around the coral heads lots of Marine Life both large and small can be seen and photographed. We had Sharks mostly the Caribbean Reef Shark swam around us coming very close. When we do get a Bull Shark in the area for some reason the Reef Sharks don’t hang around as much. With the Colorful Coral Heads, all the Marine Life and Sharks around, it’s easy to spend the day at this one site.
• Krispy Kreme: This wall dive earned its name the easy way it’s just a Beautiful Wall Dive full of Marine Life. When divers first started coming to this site, after the dive most would say, ‘that was Sweet” and Krispy Kreme was born. 

Tiger Beach (7 & 10 Nights)

• 
• Visit the remote areas around the West End of Grand Bahama. These weeks are dedicated liveaboard weeks offering up to 5 dives per day. The West End area is rarely visited by guests and is home to many creatures – both large (sharks and dolphins) and small (grouper, snapper, assorted other reef fish). At least one afternoon during the trip will be dedicated to a dive at the area known as "Tiger Beach" where we will try to attract sharks using a "scent triangle" filled with bait. Both Caribbean Reef sharks, Lemon Sharks and Tiger sharks are known to frequent the area.
