Amazing experience!!

This trip was amazing!! The crew was very fun, helpful and professional at diving. The trip has many other activities planned aside from diving which I also appreciated a lot. It was a great first liveaboard. The food was also surprisingly great! Diverse and plentiful.

One of the most memorable of liveaboard dives.

Variety of diving experiences throughout the southern Bahamas / Exumas. So much to see. Lots of marine life, and great diversity of underwater landscapes. The land excursions were also fun (especially the swimming pigs).

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!

Great diving experience in the Exumas!

Making new friends and dive in great dive sites with them were the greatest highlights. Also got to see my first ever Great Hammerhead in a dive site called Goombay Reef, wich was a major plus.

Best liveaboard experience so far. I have been on about 4 other liveaboards.

Iron diver award for myself and wife. Hawksbill turtle that was like a pet with great photos from Virginia. Virginia was a fantastic photographer. We told her up front that we were buying the photos. This is the first trip I did not bring an underwater camera (900 dives) because I wanted lots of photos of my wife and I. The photos that were extra were just full of great photos of us. A special thanks to her.
