Hello Everyone,
I posted this by mistake in the greetings forum. Please forgive me for the reposting here
I am glad I found this forum. I am hoping maybe one of you can help!
I am going to Grand Bahama Island with my wife for ten days on June 14th. We are staying on the West End at the Old Bahama Bay which is isolated. My wife and I are both certified; she is a newbie and I am slightly more experienced. I am a diabetic and therefore really must do shallow dives which we both prefer anyway.
Here's our dilemma:
Has anybody dove Sugar Wreck? It is in shallow water (about 20'). From the West End I can hire a private 20' Mako with a dive master and make a 3 hour round trip by sea and do two dives. This costs 600 dollars!
Or we can rent a car and drive into town 3 hours round trip and do afternoon shallow dives at places like fish farm and silver point on a boat with eight other divers. The cost of this including the car rental is about 300 dollars.
Is investing the extra 300 dollars to dive at Sugar Wreck worth it? Is it a better dive site? What is the possibility of encountering dolphins during the 3 hour round trip to get there?
Any advice on this one would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Robert
