Fantastic week diving with Cat Ppalu
The trip was amazing, I enjoyed the smaller group size (10 of us compared to many of the 20+ Liveaboards) and the crew and boat was fantastic. Very comfortable cabins, lots of space to relax solo and together. Chris the first mate and chef cooked amazing food and catered for my vegetarianism and my friends allergies perfectly. Kristen our dive master was super supportive and knowledgeable and Captain Bill couldn’t have treated us better making sure we had the best time! Thank you Cat Ppalu for an amazing week!

Amazing
The crew were outstanding and the food was delicious. Very flexible to cater for everyone's needs regarding land excursions and diving. Visiting pig beach and the sand bars in Exuma Cays was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend this boat if you really want the all round best of exumas.

Amazing crew and great boat!
Our trip on the Cat Ppalu was great! The crew went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. They even changed the route and showed us incredible dive sites at Eleuthera to get better visibility since it was raining the days before we started the trip. They really care about you and that you feel comfortable on the boat. The boat itself is great, too. They have hot showers, wifi and areas to enjoy the sun while cruising. I think it is very convenient that you have your own sink in your cabin.

The best crew, Diving, food and experience all rolled into one.
Double washing machine dives, 100 sharks at the blue hole, amazing crew, outstanding food cooked by Tibo. James working the weather and putting us on great dive sites. Martyna keeping the A/C and the boat working. Chelle guiding our dives and pointing out things we missed. Couldn't have asked for a better trip.

Great trip to a fantastic place aboard a very friendly and intimate boat!
This was our first live aboard and the Cat Ppalu was a great introduction to this type of travel. The exams are a fantastic destination for a broad variety of sea life and underwater topography. The crew was awesome and Bill the captain couldn't have been a better leader and host!

Great boat trip for mixing diving and island hoping
The boat is a bit small but enough for the 12 people that can be there. The crew is fantastic and the food was amazing. If the weather is good enough, you can five and visit the different islands (short walks in the beaches) so for me, that was a plus The water and the islands in Bahamas are just incredible, though there is not too much life...in any case, we could see several reef sharks, stingrays and turtles...so good enough for me
