We've added unique itineraries for next summer for those who have been with us in the past and want to experience something new!

We'll move the Morning Star and it's stellar crew to Nassau for a spell next spring and summer to run these trips while the Pirate's Lady & Sea Explorer continue with our Freeport-Western Bahamas departures.

Dive the Exuma Cays of the Central Bahamas on our Nassau Departure Scuba Cruises! Same great price and trip with a twist! The Exuma Sound is an abyss- so wall diving is phenomenal along this chain of over 365 islets! We've established a great diving itinerary here thru our sister ships the Cat Ppalu and Aqua Cat, even a shark dive site at Amberjack Reef!

Airfare to Nassau (NAS) is easy to obtain too!

Hogsty Reef trips this past summer were a raging success and the reviews were outrageous!

Check it out for yourself and see one of the deadliest shipwreck traps in the Western Hemisphere!

In the Southern Bahamas, approximately 50 miles midway between Great Inagua and Crooked Island, and roughly l00 miles north of the island of Hispaniola is a place so untouched by intruders, that it typifies the definition of the word "unspoiled". It was also a dangerous place during the old shipping days before GPS devices existed. Almost invisible beneath deceptively tranquil waters lies a treacherous reef of jagged coral which has claimed hundreds of ships over the last 450 years. Named the "Dragon's Teeth" by early Spanish captains and sailors, we now know it as "HOGSTY REEF".

Hogsty Reef is one of only three true coral atolls in the Atlantic formed when the volcanic island slowly receded into the ocean. Surrounded by waters that plunge to depths of 6,000 feet or more, two small spits of sand in a horseshoe shaped formation encompass a crystal clear lagoon. The only entrance to the lagoon on the west side keeps the diving pristine. The entire formation of approximately twelve square miles provides a lush habitat for colorful schools of butterflyfish, parrotfish angelfish, grouper and snapper abound. And away from the protection of the reef mass, giant sharks and whales prowl the waters over the edge of the shear walls that plunge to the depths of the ocean.

More than 25 wreck sites have so far been identified on Hogsty Reef. The reef even appears on early European maps and Christopher Columbus includes the area in a 1492-93 drawing and it is also on a world map prepared by Juan de la Cosa in 1500. Owing to the favorable currents, the Bahama Channel was a popular early shipping route, despite the jagged reefs. Some refer to the Hogsty reef area as the “Truk Lagoon” of the Caribbean. This is a wreck and wall diver’s dream liveaboard trip!

The two visible wrecks are the only things that can be seen of the reef on initial approach. One of these is a WW2 liberty ship, wrecked in 1963 and from a distance looks like an intact ship. It is truly an amazing place. Inside is turquoise water, 25 feet deep over white sand. Outside the wrecks and atolls, there is a sheer drop to over 6,000 feet! So, there is phenomenal shear wall diving which attracts numerous sharks and rays.

Due to the distances traveled on these remote excursions, we have scheduled extended trips for summer 2009.

Come explore with us this summer and discover the pristine diving of the Southern Bahamas. The itinerary will be weather dependent and include the best dive sites of the above areas.

Departing Georgetown, Great Exuma Airport code GGT
Georgetown is serviced by daily flights on American Airlines, Continental Airlines, US Airways.
About Georgetown, Great Exuma The Exumas is a chain of 365 cays that is strewn over a 100-mile expanse of the most breathtakingly beautiful stretch of waters in The Bahamas. The capital of the Exumas is Georgetown. You can combine your liveaboard experience with a few nights on island for a great tropical vacation. Great Exuma is known as “the opposite of a tourist trap”. There are not even traffic lights or over-head power lines. The landscape is not over-developed; in fact most flora is local. Loud jet skis and boats are so rare, that there are many days when you can go without even hearing one. Also, cruise ships do not visit Great Exuma Island. There is a sense of privacy and serenity that you just do not get at most other destinations. You can sit at the beach or at the pool all day and only see a handful of other guests, in fact most of the time you may be the only one on a beautiful beach.

Join us on our mission! Divers will collect Diadema antillarum on night dives mainly and relocate them to sites that have been prepared by scraping the heavy algae growth out of the way. These cleared areas are much better suited for the spiny sea urchins' survival as heavy, mature algae has a toxin in it that when consumed in quantity can be fatal. We'll also be using our underwater hydraulic drill to install and repair existing moorings. Save 100.00 by participating in this special trip, normally priced at $899, our participating divers only pay $799 to join the team. Departs Freeport, Grand Bahama with our area of emphasis being the western Bahamas. Book now to ensure your space on this special trip!
