I went as a solo diver and I had a double cabin for myself, have to say I loved this, full bathroom and shower and a cabin all to myself! The boat had only 16 divers on board so we were able to spread out quite nicely on the dive deck and everywhere else, to be honest. With the boat at full capacity I think we would feel a bit busy specially while gearing up and de-kitting, but the crew and staff made sure that we had everything we needed where we needed it to make things faster and easier.
The food was very good, a lot of very sugary desserts and a lot of fruit! They offered wine at dinner (I did not like it but some other guests did!). The crew made sure we had hot chocolate coming out of night dives, that was a true game-change.
I did the wrecks and reef itinerary, got to see some amazing wrecks- not much into them but I learned to appreciate them. And the reefs were stunning!
The dive leaders gave very good and thorough briefings before each dive, and offered to come along if we wanted to group together with them. I didn't, I found a buddy at the beginning of the trip and then buddied-up with other divers when he wasn't in the water.
The dives were as long as we wanted them to be, there was no time limit, since the wrecks are deep they were around 45 minutes, and on the reefs we spent over 60 minutes.
Good space in the lounge/living room to set up cameras and to charge everything there.

We traveled as a couple, shared a double-room, it was really nice and comfortable. We shared two showers and two bathrooms with the rest of the group (10 of us in total). The food was delicious and you could see the chef really loved her job. The crew were great, 4 of them in total. The captain gave us choices on dive itineraries based on our preferences (if we wanted to sail more to swim with the pigs, or dive more. We chose more dives unanimously!) and weather conditions. The catamaran was mostly sailing rather than using engines so it was quite smooth travels all week long.
The diving was super nice and easy, the sites were briefed by the crew upon arrival and we were able to go on our own or with another buddy pair if we wanted to. The boat has a support dinghy in case you surfaced far from the catamaran and they had to go get you. They also had SUP that we could use anytime we wanted.
Loved my week on board, told my family we need to book it as a whole family charter!!

Loved diving Bahamas! Every dive was easy, stress-free and full of colorful life.
The dives were perfect for all-level divers, we were part of a mixed group of divers, and we all enjoyed our dives so much!
We saw turtles, sharks (a tornado of sharks at the Washing Machine site!), plenty of small critters, so many schools of Caribbean fishes; at night the sites were amazing, full of curious shrimps and nocturnal fishes swimming arpund both artificial and natural reefs.
Cannot recommned the Bahamas enough, it's a perfect destination for everyone! Families, couples, solo travellers, groups, underwater photographers and videographers fish lovers, wreck lovers, wall divers!!
