ITINERARY INFORMATION

Detailed information about the itinerary

  • Shark Dive With Blackbeard's Cruises

Dive Information & Itineraries

Typical Blackbeard's Cruises Schedule & Itinerary

Blackbeard's typical schedule and itinerary is a 7-day dive trip that departs at 3 pm each Saturday. All passengers disembark by 9 am on the following Friday. Please keep in mind that there is no set itinerary. The leader will take you to go where conditions and weather are the best to offer you an adventure of a lifetime!

Bilikiki Liveaboard Solomon Islands

Dive Overview

Youll be diving up and down the Exuma Sound, an abyss that drops over 4,000 feet to the ocean floor! The Exuma Cays are known for their wonderful reef dives due to the protection they receive from the Land and Sea Park sanctions. You might dive Eleuthera but that is also weather dependent. Our specific itinerary varies with the winds to obtain maximum visibility for diving. The depths normally range from 20 to 120. There are swift drifts between the cays as well as a blue hole that divers will love.

What To Expect During The Dives

Experience a variety of scuba diving like no other place in the Caribbean. The variety of dive sites in the Exuma Cays is truly unique and offer opportunities not available elsewhere and they can only be reached on a liveaboard. Each week we offer a great variety of diving including thrilling shark feeding dives, walls that begin as shallow as 40 and slope over the edge where large pelagics are frequently seen, exhilarating high speed drift dives through the cuts of the cays, blue holes which are banked by patch reefs with huge schools of fish as well as other wonderful sites.

Shark Diving With Blackbeard's Cruises

The trips to the Exumas, Exuma Cays and Eleutheras Split Coral Head allow Blackbeards divers the chance to check off items found on their must-do list to swim and observe sharks. The most common type of shark encountered on these dives are the Caribbean reef shark and the nurse shark which usually rests on the sandy bottoms. Underwater photographers can capture many close up images.

If Blackbeards divers are lucky, the shark gods bestow appearances by hammerheads, lemon sharks, tiger sharks, bull sharks, whale sharks and the black nose shark.

A highlight of the trip is a passive feed, where divers can observe sharks and their behaviors. Afterward, a popular activity is the search for the ultimate souvenir a sharks tooth.
