Fun, fun and more fun.
My overall experience exceeded my expectations. Not only were the dives super fun, but the swimming pigs and nature hike were also highlights on my trip. Got some great photos of the swimming pigs. The dives were also shallow and fun. We did the "feed the shark" dive, which I got amazing close up pictures of sharks. The washing machine, where you get into an underwater current and ride it out. It throws you up and down and around like a washing machine. Just super fun all the way around. I thought I would get board being on a boat for 8 days, but when the trip ended I did not want to get off. I will be back for sure. Many on the boat were repeat customers. That says it all.
Recommended for
The crew was amazing. Funny and excited about the dives, which made the dives even more fun.. The diving was super fun. Shallow, easy dives. You could stay down as long as you wanted on most dives because they were shallow. Great for taking underwater photos and videos. Bring an underwater camera housing for your iPhone and you won't regret it.. The food was amazing. I usually don't finish my dinner, but I did on this boat..

Great all round liveaboard
The itinerary in the Exumas was very enjoyable including the choice of 5 days a day plus shore excursions. The staff make this boat. Clear briefings, friendly, available and mix well with the guests. The food is as good as it gets on a liveaboard. Would definitely do this trip again. Thankyou Aqua Cat !

One of the most fun trips I've had on a liveaboard
A really great trip on Aquacat. Thanks to Mac, Conrad, Nick, Victoria and Morgan for great dives. The food has been by far the best I've had on a liveaboard. Special thanks to Victoria for the fun chats between the dives and to Morgan for the dive skills tips, finding macro critters and teaching us freediving/spearfishing. The crew works very hard to ensure the guests have a great time.

Great diving, great crew, great time
The diving was really good, and the captain (James) moved us around all week to stay ahead of inclement weather so we had blue skies the whole time. The dive deck (Blakie, Stevie, Molly, Andy) were also amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and fun to be around. Also there was the opportunity to do 5 dives a day, including a night dive, which was amazing!

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.

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

Incredible trip on Aqua Cat with a fantastic crew!
Spotted eels and loggerhead turtles were definitely some of the aquatic highlights. The Captain did a great job getting us to a variety of dive sites working around some challenging weather. This was my second trip to Exumas and my wife’s first liveaboard dive trip. There was plenty of new stuff for me to see, and the crew was phenomenal in making sure she was comfortable and ready for all the dives.

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.
