I took this trip in June 2019 as a solo diver. Overall my experience was the following:

The sites visited were superb and plenty of marine life from large to small. I've dived all over the world and The Bahamas is top-notch given the amount of marine life one can see on a single dive + clarity of water + temperature of water + low currents. The dives were varied (reefs, shipwrecks, deep dives and blue holes).

The boat can accommodate 8 guests in total. On my trip, there were 4 of us and that was perfect. It felt like a private scuba diving trip! I think more than 6 would be crowded on the boat given its size and layout. The boat was in good condition, however the crew could have done better job in doing a daily clean of the common areas. The two divermasters themselves were good - experienced, friendly and happy to have a good conversation. The captain on the other hand was disappointing - he was often frustrated, angry and just seemed to not enjoy what he was doing. Never a good morning or happy face. His cooking was average too - meals were good but wouldn't say memorable.

Overall I would recommend this trip for those looking for a superb diving experience aboard a boat which felt safe, and almost like a private boat given the small amount of guests. We had perfect weather and conditions for the most part so were lucky.

Bahamas

Scuba Diving in The Bahamas is superb. I've dived all over the world and love coming back to The Bahamas. Marine life is plenty and varied - you can see various species of sharks, macro life, reefs, shipwrecks, blue holes and deep wall dives all in a space of 1 day! The water is warm all year round (although the winter months you will need a 3mm wet suit at a minimum). Summer months the water is generally flat with little waves but winter months the waves can be choppy - especially if there is a cold front coming through. Nevertheless, the water clarity is very good most of the time (100ft+ visibility).
