Smoky Mountain Divers is hosting an 8 day, 7 night trip to the Exuma Cays, Bahamas. The Bahamas are one of the most popular dive destinations for North American divers due to the ease of access and exceptional diving conditions. The “Aqua Cat” travels from Nassau to the Exuma Cays, a dive location frequented only by liveaboards, where the visibility is 100’- 150’and the water temperature runs about 84 degrees. Divers can enjoy a Colorful Collection of Reef Fish, Invertebrates, Sponge Covered Walls, Blue Holes, and Wrecks. If interested, we can schedule a Shark Dive! The following information should be helpful as you make plans to vacation on the Premier Liveaboard “Aqua Cat”:
We will be staying on the “Aqua Cat” liveaboard, 102’ of Casual Elegance which is Masterfully designed as a Long-range Cruising Yacht. The twin hulled showpiece incorporates three spacious decks for comfort and efficiency. The Aqua Cat can accommodate up to 22 passengers in 11 attractive fully air-conditioned, Ocean-view cabins, each with private bathroom, shower, and refrigerator. We anchor in the sheltered waters of the Fabulous Exuma Cays. Our boat dives offer a great variety of sponge covered walls, blue holes, corals and wonderful marine life. Our “House Reef” offers over 100 Exuma Cays and is highly recommended for our night dives. There is no heavy boat traffic where we’re going to play!
This trip is for divers and non-divers alike. There is plenty to do, or nothing to do, whichever you choose. The non-diver can relax on the Sun Deck, Alfresco Deck, or Bar. Enjoy beach excursions, eco-adventures and the beautiful warm ocean. Aqua Cat has Kayaks and Paddleboards for your enjoyment. Bring a good book and dare anyone to bother you for a while. There will be plenty of good food, fresh water, and unlimited international liquors, wine & beer to enjoy.
Snorkeling is Fantastic! If you don’t SCUBA Dive, take mask, fins, and snorkel. If you’re going to dive, Hold Onto Your Hat . . . or Mask! There are good Wrecks that we’ll dive, and you won’t believe the Reef Diving, Blue Hole, and Shark Dive. Visibility is generally in excess of 100’and often closer to 150’. Bring your U/W camera gear!
