Third time is the charm
This was our 3rd trip on the Aqua Cat and it didn’t disappoint. Our fellow divers were an awesome bunch and the crew were just fantastic, very helpful, friendly and fun. The boat is very comfy and well equipped. A big shout out to the chef, sous chef and stewardess, who were all amazing. A memorable trip.

Had the best time on board
This was such an amazing trip, it was our first liveaboard and we were a bit skeptical as the photos of the boat look a bit tired. But we had an amazing time, we felt truly taken care of. The food was the best, high quality, fresh and very delicious. The crew were very nice, helpful, and they seemed happy overall which is always a good sign of a well run business.

Amazing week
I can not begin to think of words to describe the amazing time we had aboard The Aqua Cat. I do not have any complaints about my week. The dive guides were fun while keeping you safe, the food & drink was amazing, best I’ve ever eaten & drank on a liveaboard. The rooms were kept clean & beds made every day. Nothing was ever to much trouble, plus the large group staying that week made us part of the gang. So all round - AMAZING 🤩

Best dive trip EVER!
This was one of the best experiences our family has ever had. The crew was amazingly friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was spotless, service was impeccable, food was over the top and the diving was great. Really cannot complain about anything. 4-5 dives a day offered, the BEST divemasters that took great care of everyone. Had tons of knowledge of all the dive spots. The meals were gourmet. We had a fun international group of divers that have become friends, sharing a common passion of diving. Well worth every penny spent. Would highly recommend the Aquacat if you're looking for a diving adventure like none other!

An excellent adventure for the value conscious
The number and variety of dives was excellent. We had up-close and personal encounters with turtles on most of the night dives. The cadence of dives across the day was challenging, but with such an abundance of dives, it was easy to skip a few here and there without feeling any pressure.

Came as strangers, left as friends
We had booked a long time ago, but my wife isn't a diver, so the fact that she was able to come on board and was offered a fantastic, alternative program was worth it. The whole time, from onboarding to offboarding, we had a fantastic, fun time on the AquaCat. The crew was crucial to the great atmosphere; they were always there, helpful, and courteous. As a beginner (under 50 dives), I felt completely accepted by the professionals there. The conversations with the guests and crew, who had come from almost all over the world, were exciting, informative, and informative. Life on board was very well structured, at least for the divers, but the great thing about it was that there was never a feeling of stress; it never arose. The briefings were sometimes really harsh, but they served their purpose; the divers could all get along with them, and the instructions were clearly worded, although they depended on the specific dive spot. Of course, there were highlights at the dive spots, but book it and experience it for yourself; I can't even begin to describe it here; you have to dive it. We are beyond thrilled; it was a fantastic experience on board the AquaCat with this crew and guests. You arrive as strangers and leave as friends; that's the feeling we've developed. We thank the crew of the AquaCat from the bottom of our hearts for these wonderful days with you. An experience that we will always cherish in the best, most positive memories. We say "THANK YOU"! Best regards, Sandra and Goran

Luxury liveaboard diving
In the lull following the winter holidays, with the added effects of the U.S. partial govt shutdown, there were only 17 guests on-board a boat that accommodates 29. So there was lots of extra space to spread out on the dive deck, and I had a solo cabin. I've been on the Aquacat before when it was fully booked, and it was just fine, but going during a slack period is even better if you can manage it. The captain did a great job of selecting dives sites where current and other conditions were excellent. A second shark feed-- staged on the Austin Smith wreck-- was particularly enjoyable. The cabins, public spaces, dive deck, and equipment were all in great condition. Food, as always, was superb, and the chef did an outstanding job of catering to special dietary restrictions. Camera working and charging facilities on the dive deck were very good. One of the joys of liveaboard travel is getting to know interesting folks from around the world, and this trip did not disappoint. There were people from Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Peru, Canada, and U.S., including a best-selling author and a student of marine biology who teaches juggling and tightrope-walking at circus camp.

Shark feeding dive and ample bottom time to heart's content
The Aqua Cat liveaboard is a pretty big boat that sails to the best dive sites in the Bahamas that the weather allows. Besides diving, this particular liveaboard offers multiple shore and adventure excursions as an alternative to a dive each day, and copious amounts of alcohol in the evening should the divers choose to partake. The swimming pig beach and iguana beach to name a few were cool shore excursions not to be missed. Nitrox is available, so what's not to love to help support your bottom time. I'd say the shark feeding dive was really cool to see up close the action in a beautifully well lit site. Of course expect Bahamas diving to be what it is, but this liveaboard did its best to sail to different sites to support a variety of different dives. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to get your dive count up and need a stable boat to stay on.
