Hi ScubaBoarders,
It's time to plan our spring break dive trip next March and my husband and I have narrowed things down (*I think*) to either doing the Aquacat liveaboard in the Bahamas or Little Cayman (probably with Little Cayman Beach Resort, but would consider other lodging/operators). Both would be new locations for us.
We've dived off Nassau, which seemed overfished, but I've heard the Exumas are much better. We've also dived Grand Cayman, which was very good, but not as amazing as some spots we've been. It sounds like Little Cayman is even better, however. The Cayman Aggressor is NOT an option for the week we have free--they've got a group booking week, so we can't do that liveaboard.
Because it's March, I worry a bit about the weather. The Bahamas are further north, but I suspect the liveaboard could find sheltered spots more easily. On the other hand, if things get too windy, at least on the island one could beach comb, hike, etc. LC is a bit further south, but also a bit more difficult to get to.
The cost of the two trips would be ~equal, so that's not a factor.
Any opinions or insights about either place, especially at this time of year, would be greatly appreciated!
cheers,
