On this exciting adventure, our 5th Blackbeards trip, we’ll be traveling WAY off the beaten path to the out-islands of the Bahamas. Here we’ll find crystal clear water tinted in a thousand shades of blue, sweeping white sand beaches lined with pines and palms, breathtaking sunsets, incredible diving and snorkeling adventures, and enough memories to last a lifetime!
We’ve collaborated with Blackbeards to put together a week of fun experiences both below AND above the waves! Glide above majestic coral gardens decorated with schools of rainbow-hued fish, sponge covered walls plunging from shallow depths to infinity, and of course...the great shark dive, the epitome of excitement!

With nearly 400 islands in the Exuma Cays to choose from we have no set schedule, we’ll be sailing and motoring on our own private itinerary, choosing the best diving and snorkeling spots for our group as we go. Often we can fish for our dinner (fresh sushi, anyone?) In addition, free diving for conch and to spearfish is also a possibility. Your biggest decision each day: Drinks at sunset...or prepare for a night dive? Even if you opt for a night dive, you can still look forward to relaxing on deck under a starry sky afterwards, reliving the days adventures and listening to the sounds of the ocean.

We’ll have chances to swim ashore on deserted islands and walk the beaches, explore rocky dunes to find some iguanas to feed, or snorkel in the mangroves. If our schedule permits, we’ll even get to swim with the famous wild swimming pigs of the out-islands!

But all the fun on this trip is not on the boat! Before we leave home, we’ll have a pre-trip party to give you an opportunity to meet your shipmates, and we’re also offering a free PADI Sea Turtle Awareness Specialty course. This course will make you an expert on the identification of one of our favorite marine creatures, the sea turtle. During the trip we’ll be spotting turtles and reporting our findings to ISTOR, the International Sea Turtle Observation Registry, for use in their ongoing research. (This course can count towards your Master Diver certification.)

We’ll also have one night in Nassau, where we’ll have the rest of the day and evening free to explore all the island has to offer...shops, beaches, restaurants and night life! In addition, during the week we’ll dock one night at Staniel Island and have the chance to spend the evening ashore, sampling the night life of what Jimmy Buffet called “One of the Caribbean’s 10 Best Bars!”

And one of the best features of this adventure is the great value, it’s FULLY INCLUSIVE! Airfare, transfers, accommodations, diving, snorkeling, all your excellent meals on board, even your drinks all week! You won’t have a bar or restaurant bill at the end of THIS trip! Other than personal expenses like crew tips, money spent ashore, or departure taxes, you’ll spend nothing else. Just think...no big credit card bill when you get home!.

Diving, snorkeling, or just relaxing, however you choose to spend your time, you’ll never forget your incredible adventures with AD&T in the pristine beauty of the out-islands of the Bahamas!
