In between dives there are opportunities to visit remote islands, snorkel or just relax on the deck with the Bahamian sun and breeze.        

Dan’s has been diving on Blackbeard’s since the 1980s! Since our first trip in January 1987 over 250 divers have joined us on board for an unforgettable Bahama’s adventure.

ABOUT THE TRIP

You will land in the Bahamas on Friday afternoon and spend the night in Nassau at a local hotel. You’ll have the evening free to go out and enjoy a Bohemian restaurant, explore downtown Nassau’s shopping or head over to Paradise Island and see the famous Atlantis Resort.

The boat departs the next day from the Nassau Harbour Club where you will spend the next 6 nights / 7 days aboard a 65 ft sailboat doing up to 19 dives and exploring the Exuma Islands. All diving, food and beverages will be provided while at sea.

After an epic week at sea, you will disembark in the morning and head to the airport for your flight home.

ABOUT THE DIVING

The Exuma Cays are under Land and Sea Park sanctions. Because of these laws, there are miles of undersea gardens in which coral, sponges and fish abound. Turtles, rays and sharks are seen regularly on most dive sites. The depths normally range from 20 feet to 120 feet. Water Temperatures in October are 78-82 / 26-28. 3mm-5mm full wetsuit recommended.

The dives offered on Blackbeard’s are unescorted. The crew on board will give you an in depth briefing before each dive describing the conditions, the current, depth, and it will include a visual aide.

Diving includes up to 19 dives and minimum Advanced Certification recommended. Take your PADI Advanced Course in the Bahamas with our DDS Instructor onboard. Add your PADI Advanced Course for only $350 CDN including PADI eLearning and digital certification card.
