Been on Blackbeard's a few times and the diving out of Nassau is a little different than Freeport departures. Not much though, same great experience in a different area. More wall diving and swift drifts that we didn't go in Bimini area. You get a dive in on Saturday evening and then dive...

i just heard they canceled the 22nd today....

This is an amazing event filled with tons of fun and great prizes too! Blackbeard's Cruises supports local diving communities across the country by donating to the cause. One lucky winner will get to join us for a week of diving fun- we look forward to welcoming them aboard! See you at the...

I'll be sure to pass this on to the REEF leader of this project, Lad Akins...although I would guess he already has heard of this report....first I've heard of it!

yep, localized pain in the puncture zone that is intense for awhile. Submerse point of entry in hottest water you can stand to neutralize poison...much like a stingray.

We did filet some and eat them...the poison is isolated to the spiny fins so no risk of ingesting...although you can still get a painful poke of poison even after dead for a few hours so cleaning them was a careful task. Taste was very similar to a tilapia- white and not much flavor...

Love the details- we have booked it for May 30th 2009...can't wait now!

sorry forgot the quote to keep the conversation straight. they still do the dive at bull run...just did it in december.

the bull run dive is still offered, just did it in december.

No mention of banning this in the Bahamas....just a fear that the Bahamas will do as Florida did and ban shark feeding of any kind even though only this one type of shark feeding procedure has been cited.

due to this accident, the rest of the shark diving operations in the Bahamas will probably suffer...did it ever occur to anyone that the Bahamas Dive Assoc led by Neal Watson is taking the position of polar opposition to protect their interests in the Bahamas? What if the Bahamas decide to ban...

considering the shearwater takes off from florida, i doubt the bahamas gets much revenue from his trips...only bad press. his dockage, fuel bill, food bill and his staff are all from the states. He departs Florida so he doesn't even bring tourism to the islands by way of hotels, meals on...

condolences to the diver's family.

an underwater photographer lost his camera to a tiger shark, it took it right out of his hands. too close for my comfort!

this took place off the coast of grand bahama. Bahamanian waters. Florida bans don't affect these trips even though Sheerwater departs from Florida. 50 miles offshore is no longer our space. another incident of vague reporting that misleads those not familiar enough to know! this trip...

ya'll southerners are so funny with your pickin' on alumni status! was in the bahamas this weekend and the spring breakers from schools all over are going nuts! wished i was on a liveaboard to get away from the bedlam!

hey, done the cat ppalu in 2004 and it was March too! The boat is easy to move around on and the diving was really great. i packed bathing suits, sarongs/coverups, a couple pair of sportif type shorts and tops and a wind breaker outfit. was nice having that after a dive especially if under...

let us know how you like utila when you get back...it is on my list of dive vacations....

i did a weekend trip with blackbeard's and it was perfect. board on friday night and dive 3 days returning on tuesday morning. was cheap, all inclusive and met some cool people! they take singles all the time so easy to make friends-

i'd be careful with abernathy....i saw an article lately where he is pushing the limits on the law with the bahamian tourist board- they don't want tiger shark caging done there w/o cages and he does it anyway. i did the stuart cove's shark experience recently and it was a hoot- if you want...
