At times it seemed we would be on this boat forever but today it seems to be going by too fast. We’re closer to Nassau now and the water is much, much colder but I can’t resist one last dive. The site is one […]

We rented a house on a big beautiful freshwater pond and planned to take full advantage of the included kayaks and windsurf boards. One morning my mom and I were the […]

Still, even in the island’s southern Powell Point where we pull […]

While one person is working really, really hard, one person is working really, really… not. In addition to the usual tasks of driving and crewing the boat, Mark’s daily duties include filling […]

The benefits include time to travel to more distant dive sites, companionship of other divers and in the case of Blackbeard’s Cruises, a significant savings in cost. Via Blackbeard’s Cruises For $899USD, […]

Chatting to her and our very friendly cab driver was a scream. They were super friendly and warm, giving me a nice taste of Bahamian hospitality. When I mentioned my summer in Cayman the […]
