Highlights
Dive the legendary Tiger Beach, Bahamas
Snorkeling with dolphins
The Dolphin Dream is a 25mtr/85ft long liveaboard taking 12 guests in 6 double bunk cabins to dive with sharks and dolphins in the Bahamas, departing from Florida. The salon is on the main deck and features 4 benches and 4 chairs surrounding 2 dining tables. A serving counter separates the galley and salon, and there is a drinks bar with a refrigerator, ice maker, coffee pots, and sink. The 27” TV, DVD player, stereo, and book/video library will keep guests entertained during downtime.

The camera stations have electricity so guests can recharge their cameras’ batteries between dives. On the back deck, there is a freshwater rinse hose, an aquarium, a freshwater bin for masks, fishing equipment, and the stairs to the upper deck. The large built-in platform has scuba tanks and benches, making it easy to gear up and get in and out of the water with our large, custom-built ladder. The side deck has an outdoor shower with warm and cold water, with shampoo & conditioner for in-between dive rinse-offs. The Dolphin Dream is owned and operated by Captain Scott, who first swam with dolphins in the Bahamas in 1980. Between diving with sharks and snorkeling with dolphins, this boat guarantees a memorable liveaboard experience.

Shark Diving Done Right
We really enjoyed diving on the Dolphin Dream. They know a lot about sharks and they run a safe and fun operation. It’s a smaller liveaboard with a family feel. Donna was our chef and she made excellent meals. Jake and Katie were our dive masters and they kept us all safe and having fun on the shark feeds. Overall, a great group of people and a wonderful experience.

Unforgettable week diving with sharks, meeting new friends and enjoying delicious meals and sunshine on the boat
Some of my favorite diving, saw a ton of tiger sharks and hammerheads, and they are big, 10-15 ft (3-4 m) long, as well as bulls, lemons, reef and nurse sharks. The feeding dives were exciting but swimming around with the tiger sharks was equally cool to do, just joining them in their environment. Met a lot of wonderful people, everyone was very friendly, staff and other divers. The meals were incredible. I was shocked at how good the food was. And plenty of delicious snacks in between meals. The staff was very organized and always very helpful. And after diving enjoying the sun and warm weather of the Bahamas on the deck of the boat was a delight. Overall incredible trip.

The food is great and the boat has a very homey feeling that made it for a really wonderful experience. The diving was awesome, we saw plenty of sharks (tigers, hammers, lemon, caribbean reef, nurse) and the dive crew is very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend and go back! Thank you!

Sharks 200%
I came there to see sharks and DD delivers it 200%. Crew is friendly, professional and safety oriented. Boat is not typical liveaboard and do not expect big comfort - in the end this should not matter if you are shark enthusiast. Nevertheless, they have all what is necessary. Food is fantastic!
