Departing Nassau every Saturday, the 65' sailboats take divers to the Exumas, SW Eleuthera, and Little San Sal for a week of adventure.

The central Bahamas, once the refuge of pirates, now provides divers with the opportunity to explore pristine waters, accompanied by the backdrop of secluded beaches. On these journeys, divers can visit Allen’s Cay to feed the resident iguanas, adding a unique touch to their adventure.
