Blackbeards November 20-27

[luft]

Hi Everyone! I'm doing the Blackbeard's Cruise from November 20-27 with a group from Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada and I am staying an extra week when it's over. Does anyone have any tips on what to do or where to go for more diving on Grand Bahama or somewhere close by. I've got an extra week and not so much money left over so any pointers would be appreciated!

It sure is a small world! I have found a spot in Abacos. It's a liveabord 40 foot Mainship Trawler for $85.00 per night, only catch is that you can't take it out! That's OK with me, there are plenty of dive shops in Marsh Harbour. Now all I have to do is fiqure out the cheapest way to get from Freeport to Marsh Harbour. There are "blue holes" on Abacos and amazing cave diving as well as reefs. Are you going with a dive club, I am going on the Blackbeards Cruise with "Ground Hog" Divers from Port Elgin. It should be alot of fun and alot warmer than Tobermory!

You can get to Abaco by either Regional Air or there is a ferry (actually a 20' boat) that makes the trip from Mcleans Town (east end of Grand Bahama). The cost is probably the same after you figure in transportation to Mcleans Town and to Marsh Harbor. Keith with Dive Abaco runs a great operation there.

If you wanted to do another week there is a group coming down for the following week from Aquasub Scuba in Richmond Hill. I dont know if they have anyspace left....just a thought.

Cheers
